I'm fascinated by Hockney. Love his honesty.

In all of Hockneys interviews the interviewer has never matched his own high intelligence ,his answers are vocal art in itself portraying his honest no nonsense approach to life,Hockney is a good example of someone pursuing his passion for painting without outside intervention just doing what he feels is right via experimentation.

Beautiful. Hockney is not only a great painter but a great philosopher, scientist, etc as well,incredibly insightful answers on all the haphazard questions thrown to him. His remark on opera 'the music is better, really', made me laugh because it is so true. Thanks for sharing this.

Hero. Noticing all the beauty as the world crumbles around us. Somebody has to. Thank goodness it's him.

What an amazing mind. So insightful, his views on everything is way way different than anyone I know.

Hats off to Hockney for handling such a disjointed set of questions, from an interviewer that wasn't listening, with such aplomb.

I find it very interesting to listen to his reflections on looking, experiencing , picture making and his understanding of how to communicate his work by making reproductions, books etc - its truly fascinating

Yes would have been fascinated to hear more about how he handled the fear of AIDS, the interviewer was terrible.

Probably the interviewer was trying to be clear in what he was saying as David was going deaf.

Wooden and maybe quite insecure British type.

@@jimbeam4736 It was the style adopted by the original F2F interviewer, John Freeman, back in the 60s. Not saying that it was an attractive way of questioning, but that's how they did it. It did one thing, however, and that was leave the person being interviewed with the chance to speak, rather than having and ongoing dialogue, which is much the way that interviews are conducted these days.

absolutely loved this, strange interviewing technique! But also great that you dont see the interviewer at all, the whole thing is about Hockney not the interviewer's ego.

I loved his paintings of the swimming pools when I first saw them in an art class many years ago. I remember commenting that they were "funny." Now, decades later I've somehow found a series of videos on the man and I really enjoy them. I'm not sure why. He is certainly wise and seems quite happy. I love his style--the glasses and wonderful clothes. I love the way he answers these rather abrupt questions--honestly but always with a different perspective. I wouldn't call him or his paintings "funny" anymore but I do find them and him immensely enjoyable--a true artist.

I have been watching all his videos which have been instrumental in my new works. I created an abstract in my own style. I am very happy with my interpretation because of this man. He is amazing to me, a real expert who I respect immensely

David is so like my father, my father had a mother who was a devout methodist. My pa was in the foreign office but was eccentric and my pa always had hobbies he made wooden wombles baskets he rubbed back furniture and he reuohostered old furniture. And my pa like David was in no way effeminate but I suspect he might be gay as he had close male friends. My pa smoked incessantly and had this similiar humour to David. The interviews ask stupid questions but David is candidly honest with no edge and no snobbery and no art trendiness at all. This makes me sad. Like my dad he is actually reserved and shy. I met Quentin Crisp at St Andrews university.
