"We live in an age where the artist is forgotten. He is a researcher. I see myself that way." ― David Hockney Topic(s): Age More From David Hockney "I’m not really looking for theater work. But if somebody approaches me with enthusiasm, I might respond." "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." "As you get older, it gets a bit harder to keep the spontaneity in you, but I work at it." More In Age "Here’s my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they’re fair with you."― Alan Alda "How incessant and great are the ills with which a prolonged old age is replete."― C. S. Lewis "Everyone knows that by far the happiest and universally enjoyable age of man is the first. What is there about babies which makes us hug and kiss and fondle them, so that even an enemy would give them help at that age?"― Desiderius Erasmus
