More quotes by David Hockney
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
The history of photography needs clearing out. It needs something else now. Because photography always acknowledged there were cameras before photography.
David Hockney
No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.
David Hockney
When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
David Hockney
The only people who need degrees are dentists and brain surgeons.
David Hockney
With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more. The LA Times fired a photographer at the beginning of the Iraq War for editing two shots together. Photography is crumbling. Certainly it is for the newspapers a bit now, isn't it? There will be painting again, absolutely!
David Hockney

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.
David Hockney
California is always in my mind.

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
I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
David Hockney
I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
David Hockney
I never talk when I'm drawing a person, especially if I'm making line drawings. I prefer there to be no noise at all so I can concentrate more.
David Hockney
I'm rather shocked by what I thought was simple mindedness actually. I thought they're not looking, they're not actually looking.
David Hockney
I've realized that I can do performances.
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
As for the world of fashion and celebrity, I have the usual interest in the human comedy, but the problems of depiction absorb me more.
