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.

California is always in my mind.

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
Image
In the end nobody knows how it's done — how art is made. It can't be explained. Optical devices are just tools. Understanding a tool doesn't explain the magic of creation. Nothing can.

Image
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.

Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.

In art, new ways of seeing mean new ways of feeling you can't divorce the two, as, we are now aware, you cannot have time without space and space without time.

I think we're in a very exciting time - visually, I think we are. I've not got a crystal ball. I'm not saying I know what the future is at all. In some ways I'm getting quite pessimistic about the future, but in other ways I think it might get better. We are moving into very big changes.

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.

If you like music you like silence actually.

It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.

Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.
David Hockney
Image
But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.

It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.

I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.

I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.

If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.

I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
