More quotes by David Hockney
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
David Hockney
I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money - I think that can be a burden - I’m greedy for an exciting life.
David Hockney
It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them.
David Hockney
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
In art, new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling you can't divorce the two, as, we are now aware, you cannot have time without space and space without time.
David Hockney
I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.
David Hockney
It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.
David Hockney
The moment you can learn to deal with homosexuality in art, it's quite an exciting moment, just as in a sense when people 'come out' it's quite an exciting moment. It means they become aware of their desires, and can deal with them in a remarkably honest way.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney
But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
