Damien Hirst
"A lot of people thought I wasn't doing anything because I was spending a lot of time socialising and going out, but I've always managed to get work actually done."
"Artists are like everybody else. "
"But whenever I look at the question of how to live, the answer's always staring me in the face. I'm already doing it. "
"It'd be nice to make lots of money but it's quite difficult, because every time I make lots of money I make a bigger piece that costs lots of money. "
"So smoking is the perfect way to commit suicide without actually dying. I smoke because it's bad, it's really simple. "
"I think suicide is the most perfect thing you can do in life. "

"An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have."
"I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of "work," because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep. "
"I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question, 'Well, what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money."
"I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to. I'm the type who'd like to sit home and watch every party that I'm invited to on a monitor in my bedroom. "
"I've decided something: Commercial things really do stink. As soon as it becomes commercial for a mass market it really stinks. "
"Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art. "
