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 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
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
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
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
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
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
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
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
You owe the companies nothing. You especially don't owe them any courtesy. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don't even start asking for theirs.
Banksy
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero
