David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
People from the village come up and tease me: 'We hear you've started drawing on your telephone.' And I tell them, 'Well, no, actually, it's just that occasionally I speak on my sketch pad,'
