More quotes by Damien Hirst

• "In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death."

• "I always feel like the art's there and I just see it, so it's not really a lot of work."

Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest."

• "In an artwork you're always looking for artistic decisions, so an ashtray is perfect. An ashtray has got life and death."
