In an artwork youre always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death. – Damien Hirst
I always feel like the arts there and I just see it, so its not really a lot of work. – Damien Hirst
The difference between art about death and actual death is that ones a celebration and the others a dull fact. – Damien Hirst
I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artists big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, thats great. – Damien Hirst
