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
Image
I'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
David Hockney
Image
I have always believed that art should be a deep pleasure. I think there is a contradiction in an art of total despair, because the very fact that the art is made seems to contradict despair.

Image
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
Image
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
David Hockney
Image
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
Image
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
Image
The vanishing point leads to the missiles of today, which can take us out of this world. It could be that the west's greatest mistakes were the 'invention' of the external vanishing point and the internal combustion engine.
David Hockney
Image
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
Image
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
Image
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
Image
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
Image
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
Image
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
Image
In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.
David Hockney
Image
The way we see things is constantly changing. At the moment the way we see things has been left a lot to the camera. That shouldn't necessarily be.
David Hockney
Image
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
Image
I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.
