More quotes by 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
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
Banksy
Brandalism Any advertisement in public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It belongs to you. It's yours to take, rearrange and re-use. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
Banksy
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
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
You're mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.
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
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
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
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
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
My lawyer's opinion is that the cops might not actually be able to charge me with criminal damage any more - because theoretically my graffiti actually increases the value of property rather than decreasing it. That's his theory, but then my lawyer also believes wearing novelty cartoon ties is a good look.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
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 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.
