I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.

David Hockney
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
An artist might be attracted to hedonism, but of course an artist is not a hedonist. He's a worker, always.
David Hockney
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years.
David Hockney
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
