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
I can get excitement watching rain on a puddle. And then I paint it. Now, I admit, there are not too many people who would find that exciting. But I would. And I want life thrilling and rich. And it is. I make sure it is.
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've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. Now, how much reality can there be in that?
David Hockney
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
David Hockney
I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, 'The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.' A lot of people don't look very hard.
David Hockney
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
