More From Damien Hirst

It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.
Art
Everyone wants to understand art. why not try to understand the song of a bird? why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? but in the case of a painting people have to understand. if only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them. people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.

Everyone wants to understand art. why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? but in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.

I don't like medicine. there's an old irish proverb that goes, "if i knew where i was going to die, i wouldn't go there." i suspect that i'm going to die in a hospital, so every time i go past one, i drive really quickly to get away from those things. so i spend a lot of money on health: gyms, i go to naturopaths, acupuncturists; anybody else who's almost the alternative to medicine. i think by the time you need medicine, it's too late. that's my belief.

The most important aspect of my personality as far as determining my success goes; has been my questioning conventional wisdom, doubting experts and questioning authority. while that can be painful in your relationships with your parents and teachers, it's enormously useful in life.

I've always felt there were aspects of me that were monstrous, and you can either hide from it or confront it, embrace it and understand that those are aspects that make you unique and define you and motivate you. you can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them -- but they truly define you as a human being...so that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another...one finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. that's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint.
