We need all kinds of artists....

We need all kinds of artists. We have no need to destroy drawing. We lose so much. This wouldn't happen in music.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I've never been interested in...

I've never been interested in, much in the politics of the art world, it doesn't interest me.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I think we seem to remember t...

I think we seem to remember things in still pictures. I never gave up on painting. When they said painting was dead, I just thought, Well, that's all about photography, and photography's not that interesting, and it's changing anyway.

I can see that cinema seems to be finished. Everybody has a bigger screen at home. I'm assuming eventually you won't need a screen at all - these iPhones will just project.

David Hockney 219 quotes

We all know a mirror reflects...

We all know a mirror reflects us, if you look in it. If you move, the reflection moves. If you project from a mirror, meaning it will project an image, it's nothing to do with you. The world seen by nobody.

David Hockney 219 quotes

You can't believe any picture...

You can't believe any picture nowadays, if it's digital. You can't really believe. If you see me shaking hands with Mr. [Barack] Obama, it doesn't mean I ever met him, does it?

David Hockney 219 quotes

Style is something you can us...

Style is something you can use, and you can be like a magpie, just taking what you want.

OH, I LIKE smoking, I do. I smoke for my health, my mental health. Tobacco gives you little pauses, a rest from life. I don't suppose anyone smoking a pipe would have road rage, would they?

David Hockney 219 quotes

How can Blair fight a war on ...

How can Blair fight a war on terror? Terror is not an ideology or an army; terror is a technique.

David Hockney 219 quotes

No theoretician, no writer on...

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 219 quotes

In fact, I'm a bit of a slob,...

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.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I never work with music. I ha...

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 219 quotes

I believe that the problem of...

I believe that the problem of how you depict something is a formal problem. It's an interesting one and it's a permanent one; there's no solution to it. There are a thousand and one ways you can go about it. There's no set rule.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I thought using three cameras...

I thought using three cameras was a lot better than one, because you could see where you were going, where you'd been, and all kinds of things - more like life. I think photography has colored our vision. We're now in an area where it might break something. I think this is a time. I feel it. I don't know whether I'll be here long enough to experience it. I've no plans to leave yet.

David Hockney 219 quotes

Movie actors disappear - any ...

Movie actors disappear - any young person wouldn't know Cary Grant. They're going to disappear. Fifty years ago, you thought film was here to stay. But nothing is here to stay, actually - except perhaps paintings and drawings.

David Hockney 219 quotes

Time is the great mystery any...

Time is the great mystery anyway. And it's still the great mystery in the moving picture as well.

David Hockney 219 quotes

The pictures on the walls are...

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 219 quotes

...all along I've had an ambi...

...all along I've had an ambivalent relationship to photography - but as to whether I thought it an art form, or a craft, or a technique, well, I've always been taken with Henry Geldzahler's answer to that question when he said, I thought it was a hobby.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I am constantly preoccupied with how to remove distance so that we can all come closer together, so that we can all begin to sense we are the same, we are one.

I have got an iPad, what a joy! Van Gogh would have loved it, and he could have written his letters on it as well.
