I think I like big issues, but I dont believe in God or religion. – 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
No, I dont believe in genius. I believe in freedom. I think anyone can do it. Anyone can be like Rembrandt. – 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
