QUOTES BY David Hockney


I prefer living in color.

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.

I actually think the deafness makes you see clearer. If you can't hear, you somehow see.

Anything simple always interests me.

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.
