Quote

I've never learned to drive because I get lots of ideas when I'm a passenger in a car. I love to get in a car with a driver and just think and work things out.

There's always something you missed or something you didn't notice or somehow you got wrong... I don't really have a beginning.
Damien Hirst
Image
I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist's big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that's great.
Damien Hirst
Image
Painting is so poetic, while sculpture is more logical and scientific and makes you worry about gravity.
Damien Hirst
Image
I don't really have a career plan.
Damien Hirst
Image
I liked The Beatles a lot when I was growing up.
Damien Hirst
Image
I believe all painting and art should be uplifting for the viewer.
Damien Hirst
Image
I just hope that I can be kind of like the Beatles. I really like that kind of model. I like the way that without losing integrity they could change through fashion and not look back at the '60s and vomit when they saw what they'd done.

It's amazing what you can do with an E in A-Level art, a twisted imagination and a chainsaw.

A painting probably is the most shocking increase in value, from what it costs to make to what you sell it for.
Damien Hirst
Image
As a father, I would say I am more like a mother. I do a lot of hugging.
Damien Hirst
Image
I can't wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say f off. But after a while you can get away with things.
Damien Hirst
Image
You've really got to get down on the floor with yourself and get low in order to make great art. I think you've just got to accept who you are and do the most unbelievable things.
Damien Hirst
Image
You have to step over the boundaries sometimes just to find out where theyare.
Damien Hirst
Image
The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
Image
Great art - or good art - is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don't think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different.
Damien Hirst
Image
You've got to be oblivious to other people, the push and pull of other people's opinions, the way other people measure success. It's then that you realize you are 100 percent who you are and you have to use that who-you-are 100 percent in order to create great things.

I did a butterfly show in Berlin, and we had a guy who's an expert on butterflies who bred them all and who looks after them all in the space.
Damien Hirst
Image
I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.
Damien Hirst
Image
I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
Damien Hirst
Image
I love art. It is uplifting.
