In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.

More quotes by David Hockney
Television is becoming a collage - there are so many channels that you move through them making a collage yourself. In that sense, everyone sees something a bit different.
David Hockney
Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'

David Hockney
California is always in my mind.
David Hockney
I mean if you draw you like drawing, it's er, an activity you do all the time actually.

No theoretician, no writer on art, however interesting he or she might be, could be as interesting as Picasso. A good writer on art may give you an insight to Picasso, but, after all, Picasso was there first.
David Hockney
Painting and drawing has been here for 35,000 years.
David Hockney

The urge to draw must be quite deep within us, because children love to do it.
David Hockney
There would be no bohemia without smoking.
David Hockney
But slowly I began to use cameras and then think about what it was that was going on. It took me a long time, I mean I actually played with cameras and photography for about 20 years.
David Hockney
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
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
Picasso is still influencing me. Of course, I haven't got that kind of energy, or skill.
David Hockney
West Yorkshire is quite dramatic and beautiful, the crags and things.
David Hockney
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
If you go too far with naturalism, there is no need to even organize just look... and paint what you see until the canvas ends.
David Hockney
I was 18 when I first visited London, I'm very provincial like that, but I must confess the moment I got to America I thought: This is the place. It was more open, with 24-hour cities and pubs and restaurants that didn't close.
