More quotes by Banksy
I don't know if street art ever really works indoors. If you domesticate an animal, it goes from being wild and free to sterile, fat and sleepy. So maybe the art should stay outside.
Banksy
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
Banksy
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
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
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
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 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
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
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
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
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
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
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
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
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
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.
