I Always Feel Like The Art's There

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.

For Me, Art Is Always A Kind Of Theater. When I Started The Spot Paintings I Made Them As An Endless Series. But I Was Never Serious About It Being An Endless Series. It Was Just An Implied Endless Series. The Theater Means You Just Have To Make It Look Good For That Moment In The Spotlight.

I Think As An Artist You Have To Reinvent Yourself Every Day.

I Think Art Is Good At Looking Back And Looking Forward. I Don't Think Art Is Good At Looking Head-on. At The End Of The Day, People Are More Important Than Paintings.

It's Amazing What You Can Do With An E In A-level Art, A Twisted Imagination And A Chainsaw.
