What I always longed to do wa...

What I always longed to do was to be able to paint like I can draw, most artists would tell you that, they would all like to paint like they can draw.

It's a myth that if you're liked by only four people it must be good. It might also be very bad: they might be your mother, your brother, your uncle and your aunt.

David Hockney 219 quotes

If you go too far with natura...

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 219 quotes

I think probably something bi...

I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.

I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money – I think that can be a burden – I’m greedy for an exciting life. I want it to be exciting all the time, and I get it, actually. On the other hand, I can find excitement, I admit, in raindrops falling on a puddle and a lot of people wouldn’t. I intend to have it exciting until the day I fall over.

Every good artist I know, I always think works hard, we're working all the time.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I usually only draw myself in down periods... I suppose that's why I often draw myself looking grim. I just think, 'Let's have a look in the mirror.' When you are alone and you look in a mirror you never put on a pleasing smile. Well, you don't, do you?

David Hockney 219 quotes

Until I saw my drawings repla...

Until I saw my drawings replayed on the iPad, I'd never seen myself draw. Someone watching me would be concentrating on the exact moment, but I'd always be thinking a little bit ahead. That's especially so in a drawing where you are limiting yourself, a line drawing for example. When you are doing them you are very tense, because you have to reduce everything to such simple terms.

David Hockney 219 quotes

The way we see things is cons...

The way we see things is constantly changing. At the moment the way we see things has been left a lot to the camera. That shouldn't necessarily be.

David Hockney 219 quotes

Loads of people, particularly...

Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I've never met anyone who didn't like a pretty face.

David Hockney 219 quotes

I'm interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything.

David Hockney 219 quotes

What an artist is trying to do...

What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.

In my old age, I'll be in L.A.

I go and see anything that's visually new, any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different, but someone using it will.

Listening is a positive act: you have to put yourself out to do it.

To me, the world's rather beautiful if you look at it. Especially nature.

I was always struck by how Picasso had no interest in music.

I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms every morning.

I'm a very early riser, and I don't like to miss that beautiful early morning light.
