Anything simple always interests me.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.

The cameras are getting smaller, they're getting more versatile, and eventually, I'm sure you'll have a camera with lots and lots of things on it so you can alter the picture. You could alter perspective.
David Hockney
Image
The vanishing point leads to the missiles of today, which can take us out of this world. It could be that the west's greatest mistakes were the 'invention' of the external vanishing point and the internal combustion engine.

You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.

Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.

Image
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
David Hockney
Image
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
David Hockney
Image
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
David Hockney
Image
Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.
David Hockney
Image
I do believe that painting can change the world.
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
The pictures on the walls aren't like movies. They don't move, they don't talk, and they'll last longer. They will last longer.
David Hockney
Image
I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.
David Hockney
Image
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.

I'm fed up with being bossed around.
