More quotes by David Hockney
A lot of people, given the chance, would blow up everything, and you and me.
David Hockney
Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.
David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
But the moment you use an ordinary camera, you are not seeing the picture, remember, meaning, you had to remember what you've taken. Now you could see it of course, with a digital thing, but remember in 1982 you couldn't.
David Hockney
The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.
David Hockney
Anything simple always interests me.
David Hockney
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.

David Hockney

It's no good saying I wished I could go out more, because I can't. But I don't bother about it too much.
David Hockney
I made a photograph of a garden in Kyoto, the Zen garden, which is a rectangle. But a photograph taken from any one point will not show, well it shows a rectangle, but not with ninety degree angles.
David Hockney
In my old age, I'll be in L.A.
David Hockney
Once you start painting, you could of course get lost. I mean you get out of yourself, you don't know whether you're thinking, you just act actually sometimes.
David Hockney
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
When you are older, you realise that everything else is just nothing compared to painting and drawing.
David Hockney
You would think death was an optional extra nowadays. Nobody wants to tick that box.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
