More quotes by Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone. It turned out I'd picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn't like the attention.
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
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
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
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
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Although you might have to creep about at night and lie to your mum it’s actually one of the more honest art forms available. There is no elitism or hype, it exhibits on the best walls a town has to offer and nobody is put off by the price of admission.
Banksy
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
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
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
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
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
