"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."

More From Damien Hirst
- "For me, art is always a kind of theater."
- "I have always been aware that you have to get people listening before you can change their minds. Any artist’s big fear is being ignored, so if you get debate, that’s great."
- "I always feel like the art’s there and I just see it, so it’s not really a lot of work."

- "The price of a work of art has nothing to do with what the work of art is, can do, or is worth on an existential, alchemical level."― Jerry Saltz
- "Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man."― Thomas Paine
