I always feel like the arts there and I just see it, so its not really a lot of work. – Damien Hirst
Great art – or good art – is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I dont think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different. – Damien Hirst
I was taught to confront things you cant avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where youre trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers dont last for ever makes them beautiful. – Damien Hirst
Ive been asked to do a retrospective since I was about 28 and I always thought that was a bit odd. Its great to look forward as an artist because in the future the possibilities are infinite you look back and its all fixed so its a scary thing. – Damien Hirst
I always knew that St. Jude was an amazing organization but meeting the kids and seeing how the hospital works first hand was truly beautiful. It doesnt feel like a regular hospital all dreary and sad. Its a colorful, beautiful, comfortable, fun place to live and the energy is wonderful. – Ariana Grande
