David Hockney Interview (2019)

“The world is very, very beautiful if you look at it. But most people don’t look very much. They scan the ground in front of them so they can walk, but they don’t really look at things incredibly well, with intensity. I do, and I’ve always known that.”

David Hockney on Hockney (1976)

“I don't think really my life's very interesting to make an autobiography. I just sit and paint all day. I mean what can you do with that?”
