There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
Image
It takes a long time to make it simple.
David Hockney
Image
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
Image
The picture itself is a document. How do you mean? We're looking at a document. It gives you clues.
David Hockney
Image
If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
David Hockney
Image
In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.

Image
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
Image
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
David Hockney
Image
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
Image
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
All art is contemporary, if it's alive, and if it's not alive, what's the point of it?
David Hockney
Image
As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it.
David Hockney
Image
...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
Image
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
I've always been interested in space in pictures. I think my going deaf increased my spatial sense, because I can't get the direction of sound. I feel that I see space very clearly, and that's because I can't hear it. So it's a compensatory thing.
David Hockney
Image
What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.
