I Always Feel Like The Art's There

What I Really Like Is Minimum Effort For Maximum Effect.

I Can't Understand Why Most People Believe In Medicine And Don't Believe In Art, Without Questioning Either.

Whenever I've Been Well-known Or Hitting The Press, I've Always Had To Get My Credit Card Out To Prove I'm Damien Hirst.

Because It's Visual Art, A Lot Of It Comes From Childhood Experience But Then A Lot Comes From The Visual Language - In Advertising And Stuff Like That - Which Is Around Us.

Art Is The Closest You Can Get To Immortality, Though It's A Poor Substitute - You're Working For People Not Yet Born - And People Want It Because It Is Brilliant. It Ends Up In Museums Anyway; The Rich Have To Give It Back To The People, It's Their Only Option. There Are No Pockets In A Shroud.
