It's ridiculous what I do. I can't believe in it - but I have to.
Damien Hirst

As an artist you're looking for universal triggers. You want it both ways. You want it to have an immediate impact, and you want it to have deep meanings as well. I'm striving for both. But I hate it when people write things that sound like they've swallowed a f... dictionary.

I think as an artist you have to reinvent yourself every day.
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.

The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.
Damien Hirst
Image
I have titles floating around in my head I have sculptures floating around in my head. It's like a collage.
Damien Hirst
Image
I think I've always been afraid of painting, really. Right from the beginning. All my paintings are about painting without a painter. Like a kind of mechanical form of painting. Like finding some imaginary computer painter, or a robot who paints.

Image
Art goes on in your head. If you said something interesting, that might be a title for a work of art and I'd write it down.

I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.
