More quotes by David Hockney
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
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
I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.

David Hockney
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.
David Hockney
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
David Hockney
I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.
David Hockney
Anything simple always interests me.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
It's all one to me: opera, painting, drawing, faxes.
David Hockney
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
