More quotes by David Hockney
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney

David Hockney
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney

David Hockney
Any artist will tell you he's really only interested in the stuff he's doing now. He will, always. It's true, and it should be like that.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.

David Hockney
Most artists work all the time, they do actually, especially good artists, they work all the time, what else is there to do? I mean you do.
David Hockney
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.
David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
I can often tell when drawings are done from photographs, because you can tell what they miss out, what the camera misses out: usually weight and volume - there's a flatness to them.
David Hockney
Anything simple always interests me.
David Hockney
There's a Chinese proverb that says it all: Painting is an old man's art.
David Hockney
The editing of moving pictures is geared toward the single image. You'd have to edit things in new ways.
David Hockney
