More quotes by Banksy
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
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
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
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
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
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
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
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
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 used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
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
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
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
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
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
