More quotes by Banksy
I am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.
Banksy
Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. The public fill concert halls and cinemas every day, we read novels by the millions, and buy records by the billions. 'We the people' affect the making and quality of most of our culture, but not our art.
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
Banksy
I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
If you don't own a train company then you go and paint on one instead... it all comes from that thing at school when you had to have name tags in the back of something... that makes it belong to you. You can own half the city by scribbling your name over it.
Banksy
There's obviously nothing wrong with selling your art - only an idiot with a trust fund would tell you otherwise. But it's confusing to know how far you should take it.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.
Banksy
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Banksy
Brandalism Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
Banksy
Graffiti ultimately wins out over proper art because it becomes part of your city, it' s a tool I'll meet you in that pub, you know, the one opposite that wall with a picture of a monkey holding a chainsaw. I mean, how much more useful can a painting be than that?
Banksy
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
You owe the companies nothing. You especially don't owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.
Banksy
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
