More quotes by Banksy
You live in the city and all the time there are signs telling you what to do and billboards trying to sell you something.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you've made your own sculpture.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
Banksy
The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a sh*t.
Banksy
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
Is graffiti art or vandalism? That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.
Banksy
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
Banksy
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
Banksy
I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website - but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens.
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
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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it's probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it.
