I think my father would have liked to have been an artist, actually. But I think he didnt quite have perhaps the drive or, I dont know, I mean he had a family to bring up I suppose. – David Hockney
What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldnt be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought. – David Hockney
