More quotes by Banksy
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
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
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
I know street art can feel increasingly like the marketing wing of an art career, so I wanted to make some art without the price tag attached. There's no gallery show or book or film. It's pointless. Which hopefully means 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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
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
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
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 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
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
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
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it's probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it.
Banksy
On Painting Rats, and the Glorification of Them. They exist without permission. They are hated, hunted and persecuted. They live in quiet desperation amongst the filth. And yet they are capable of bringing entire civilizations to their knees. If you are dirty, insignificant, and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
