More quotes by David Hockney

David Hockney
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?

David Hockney

Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
The cameras are getting smaller, they're getting more versatile, and eventually, I'm sure you'll have a camera with lots and lots of things on it so you can alter the picture. You could alter perspective.
David Hockney
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.
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
Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
Water colours are wet colours in water.
