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
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.
David Hockney
I'm very attracted to the great open spaces of the West.
David Hockney

With chemical film, it was possible to alter photographs, but you had to be an expert. That's not true any more.

There will be painting again, absolutely!
David Hockney
There's no need to believe what an artist says. Believe what he does that's what counts.
David Hockney

David Hockney
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.
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
Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
David Hockney
I'm fed up with being bossed around.
David Hockney
You must plan to be spontaneous.
David Hockney
I'm a bit claustrophobic, I know that now.
David Hockney
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
David Hockney
I have never really done any teaching and maybe I should have done. I am not power-mad enough.
David Hockney
I was always interested in photography because it makes a picture.
David Hockney
I think I am seeing more clearly now than ever.
