More quotes by David Hockney
We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.
David Hockney
If you see the world as beautiful, thrilling and mysterious, as I think I do, then you feel quite alive.
David Hockney
What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.
David Hockney
Before he did all those lovely line drawings, Matisse would make really detailed charcoal drawings and tear them up. He wouldn't leave them about... I understand what he was doing: discovering what's there... to make the line meaningful, to find a linear solution.
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
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.

David Hockney
No matter what the illusion created, it is a flat canvas and it has to be organized into shapes.
David Hockney
Well, in Bradford I could say I was brought up in Bradford and Hollywood.
David Hockney
The moment you can learn to deal with homosexuality in art, it's quite an exciting moment, just as in a sense when people 'come out' it's quite an exciting moment. It means they become aware of their desires, and can deal with them in a remarkably honest way.
David Hockney
No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.
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.
David Hockney
A lot of people, given the chance, would blow up everything, and you and me.
David Hockney
Always live in the ugliest house on the street - then you don't have to look at it.
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
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney
You must plan to be spontaneous.
