More quotes by 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
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
I'm sure that the camera is part of European art.
David Hockney
I stay up nights and fiddle with my opera designs. It's a bit obsessive. That's why I can't do it all the time.
David Hockney
If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.
David Hockney
I think Picasso was, without doubt, the greatest portraitist of the 20th century, if not any other century.

David Hockney
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
David Hockney
I've always been a looker. Loads of people say, I never saw that - but that's what artists do.
David Hockney
Perspective is a law of optics... The Chinese did not have a system like it. Indeed, it is said they rejected the idea of the vanishing point in the eleventh century, because it meant the viewer was not there, indeed, had no movement, therefore was not alive.
David Hockney
I never work with music. I hate background music, always did. I only like music in the foreground, meaning, deliberately listen to it, actually.
David Hockney
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
David Hockney
I feel 30. [Publo] Picasso said he always felt 30. Well, I do.
David Hockney
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
It is difficult to say why I decided I wanted to be an artist. Obviously, I had some facility, more than other people, but sometimes facility comes because one is more interested in looking at things, examining them, more interested in the visual world than other people are.
David Hockney
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney
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.
