Banksy

Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy

It turned out I'd picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn't like the attention.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
Painting something that defies the law of the land is good. Painting something that defies the law of the land and the law of gravity at the same time is ideal.
Banksy
I tell myself I use art to promote dissent, but maybe I am just using dissent to promote my art. I plead not guilty to selling out. But I plead it from a bigger house than I used to live in.
Banksy
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
