All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?

More quotes by Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
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
If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you've made your own sculpture.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
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
Live as a villain, die as a hero
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
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
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 don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public they forget that invisibility is a superpower.
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
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
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.
