Oh!!!!! Sister Wendy!!! One of THE MOST INTERESTING people I've ever heard speak. Mad about Art and one of the few able to talk about it without sounding either precious or 'full of it.' Wonderful. (She WAS a proper nun. Very definitely. Took vows of poverty and lived in a small, badly insulated caravan in the woods, near her convent). Died a few years ago. Sadly, one of the very few people in the world I was hoping to one day meet.
I cry as David reminds so much of my pa. My pa had a methodist mother his uncle was the town planner of Sheffield. My pa also won a scholarship to a grammar school in Newark. And even though my pa was humourous like David and he was a rugged individual. My pa was in the foreign office was hard working I always sensed my pa who was not effeminate in any way I sensed he was maybe gay as all his very close bonds were with men. Im a painter and my dad painted and my dad died last year aged 95 and my dad smoked like a chimney. These men although eccentric pride themselves in being practical and they are always solving problems. David was close to his mother as was my dad. I would love love to meet David Hockney and I would love to learn to use the eyepad. You see we can draw but we are not keen on just drswing and art is about unusual composition and colour. We are composers and we dont just want to practise scales.
Characterizing the rite of spring in fantasia as about Dinosaurs tells me he forgot that it’s actually a pageant of life on earth starting from chaos into single cell organisms, and evolving into dinosaurs. It was a major thing to be portraying evolution on screen like that. Disneys The rite of spring is about the spring of life itself. Hockney just forgot I’m sure so he could make his glib point about spring and LA.

Really admire Hockney...and his work. Especially his drawings. Love his personality. Very casual and giving.
Thanks David ,lovely to listening to you
He is great. He just tells it how it is. The interviewer seemed a bit uncomfortable.
I love this guy!
Great, thanks so much for this.
I love the Janet Jackson mics. Nice touch.
thanks for a great interview!

I love the standing ovation he gets for declaring he wants to go for a pee 😂

Was it dinosaurs, or hippopotami? (I thought the latter). (I remember being taken to see it in 1962... I was five...)
nice interview,but i wish that scarf was not there
Is that really a relevant comment I wonder?
Speak up we can’t hear anything even with the volume turned up
Awful chairs, ergonomic disasters
