I avoid the public because the English public is too aggressive these days for me.
David Hockney
Image
With watercolour, you can't cover up the marks. There's the story of the construction of the picture, and then the picture might tell another story as well.
David Hockney
Image
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.

You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
Image
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
David Hockney
Image
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
Image
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
Image
I can see that cinema seems to be finished. Everybody has a bigger screen at home. I'm assuming eventually you won't need a screen at all - these iPhones will just project.
David Hockney
Image
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
Image
As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.
David Hockney
Image
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
Image
Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.
David Hockney
Image
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
