David Hockney
I was 18 when I first visited London, I'm very provincial like that, but I must confess the moment I got to America I thought: This is the place. It was more open, with 24-hour cities and pubs and restaurants that didn't close.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
Faces are the most interesting things we see other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people - the point where we go inside them - is the face. It tells all.
David Hockney

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
The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
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
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
