The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

David Hockney
Image
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
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
When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
