More quotes by Banksy
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
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
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
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
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
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
I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached. There's no gallery show or book or film. It's pointless. Which hopefully means something.
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
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
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
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
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
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.
