More quotes by Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.
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
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
Banksy
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
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
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
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
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
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
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
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
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.
