More quotes by Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
Banksy
On Painting Rats, and the Glorification of Them. They exist without permission. They are hated, hunted and persecuted. They live in quiet desperation amongst the filth. And yet they are capable of bringing entire civilizations to their knees. If you are dirty, insignificant, and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
I don't think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.
Banksy
The Art we look at is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of Art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an Art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires
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
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
Painting something that defies the law of the land is good. Painting something that defies the law of the land and the law of gravity at the same time is ideal.
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.
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
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.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
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
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
