Damien Hirst: Citations en anglais

“I can’t wait to get into a position to make really bad art and get away with it. At the moment if I did certain things people would look at it, consider it and then say "f off". But after a while you can get away with things.”

Spalding, Julian. "Why it's OK not to like modern art" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article1098907.ece?token=null&offset=12&page=2, The Times, 8 May 2003.
Hirst quoted by Julian Stallabrass in 1990.

“The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel.”

Most of Hirst's "spot paintings" are executed by assistants.

“I just wanted to find out where the boundaries were. So far I've found there aren't any. I just wanted to be stopped, and no one will stop me.”

Kuhn, Nicola, "You can puff all you like Damien, but the wind's gone out of Britart" http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/1999/mar/16/features11.g21, The Guardian, 16 March 1999.

“It’s not a coincidence that governments use art on coins and notes. They do this to help us believe in money. Without art, it’s hard for us to believe in anything.”
