Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.

More quotes by David Hockney
Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.
David Hockney
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
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
A lot of people, given the chance, would blow up everything, and you and me.
David Hockney
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
...all along I've had an ambivalent relationship to photography - but as to whether I thought it an art form, or a craft, or a technique, well, I've always been taken with Henry Geldzahler's answer to that question when he said, I thought it was a hobby.
David Hockney
Once you start painting, you could of course get lost. I mean you get out of yourself, you don't know whether you're thinking, you just act actually sometimes.
David Hockney
I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.
David Hockney
It's no good saying I wished I could go out more, because I can't. But I don't bother about it too much.
David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
With watercolour, you can't cover up the marks. There's the story of the construction of the picture, and then the picture might tell another story as well.
David Hockney
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
It's difficult to talk about colour, even remember colour actually.
David Hockney
Water in swimming pools changes its look more than in any other form its colour can be man-made and its dancing rhythms reflect not only the sky but, because of its transparency, the depth of the water as well. If the water surface is almost still and there is a strong sun, then dancing lines with the colours of the spectrum appear everywhere.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'
David Hockney
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
