More quotes by Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
Graffiti ultimately wins out over proper art because it becomes part of your city, it' s a tool I'll meet you in that pub, you know, the one opposite that wall with a picture of a monkey holding a chainsaw. I mean, how much more useful can a painting be than that?
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
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
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
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
My lawyer's opinion is that the cops might not actually be able to charge me with criminal damage any more - because theoretically my graffiti actually increases the value of property rather than decreasing it. That's his theory, but then my lawyer also believes wearing novelty cartoon ties is a good look.
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 originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
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
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
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
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
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.
