"I always ignore money."

--

Damien Hirst

“The essential fault of surrealism is that it invents without discovering. To make a clam play an accordion is to invent not to discover. The observation of the unconscious, so far as it can be observed, should reveal things of which we have previously been unconscious, not the familiar things of which we have been conscious plus imagination.”
“I'm an instant responder. Somebody told me I'm a living Twitter. I'm quick to respond and quick to fill air.”

“I imagine John Watson thinks loveâ€™s a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive. When we first met, you told me that a disguise is always a self portrait, how true of you, the combination to your safe â€“ your measurements. But this is far more intimate. This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head. You could have chosen any random number and walked out of here today with everything you worked for. But you just couldnâ€™t resist it, could you? Iâ€™ve always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof.”
