More From David Hockney
- "When you stop doing something, it doesn’t mean you are rejecting the previous work. That’s the mistake; it’s not rejecting it, it’s saying, ‘I have exploited it enough now and I wish to take a look at another corner.’"
- "I went to art school actually when I was sixteen years old."
- "I’m very attracted to the great open spaces of the West."
More In Poetry
- "That’s one of the great things about poetry; one realises that one does one’s little turn – that you’re just part of the great crop, as it were."― Paul Muldoon
- "It’s something we, guys, have all done. Made tapes for girls, trying to impress them, to meet them on a shared plane of aesthetics. Read them someone else’s poetry because they do poetry better than you could do it, because you’re too awkward to do it."― John Cusack
- "While I’ve had a great distaste for what’s usually called song in modern poetry or for what’s usually called music, I really don’t think of speech as so far from song."― David Antin
