Since I was a child, death is definitely something that I think about every day. But I think that everybody does. You try and avoid it, but its such a big thing that you cant. – Damien Hirst
Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms. – 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
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
