When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
David Hockney
Image
Laugh a lot. It clears the lungs.
David Hockney
Image
I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney
Image
Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.
David Hockney
Image
Faces are the most interesting things we see other people fascinate me, and the most interesting aspect of other people - the point where we go inside them - is the face. It tells all.
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
If we are to change our world view, images have to change.
David Hockney
Image
I've realized that I can do performances.
David Hockney
Image
Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world, but I don't mind, I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore, is there?
David Hockney
Image
I've finally figured out what's wrong with photography. It's a one-eyed man looking through a little 'ole. Now, how much reality can there be in that?
David Hockney
Image
I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.
David Hockney
Image
Of course you can still paint landscape - it's not been worn out.
David Hockney
Image
I'm really only interested in technology that is about pictures. I'm interested in anything that makes a picture.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.
David Hockney
Image
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
Image
It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them.
David Hockney
Image
The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
Image
I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
David Hockney
Image
Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.
