More quotes by Banksy
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
Keep your coins, I want change.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.

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
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
There's obviously nothing wrong with selling your art - only an idiot with a trust fund would tell you otherwise. But it's confusing to know how far you should take it.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
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
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent, leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
