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.

More quotes by 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
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
The time of getting fame for your name on its own is over. Artwork that is only about wanting to be famous will never make you famous. Any fame is a by-product of making something that means something. You don't go to a restaurant and order a meal because you want to have a sh*t.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
Although you might have to creep about at night and lie to your mum it’s actually one of the more honest art forms available. There is no elitism or hype, it exhibits on the best walls a town has to offer and nobody is put off by the price of admission.
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
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
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
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
I don't know if street art ever really works indoors. If you domesticate an animal, it goes from being wild and free to sterile, fat and sleepy. So maybe the art should stay outside.
Banksy
Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.
Banksy
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
