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.

More quotes by Banksy
You're mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.
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
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
If you don't own a train company then you go and paint on one instead... it all comes from that thing at school when you had to have name tags in the back of something... that makes it belong to you. You can own half the city by scribbling your name over it.
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
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
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
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
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
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
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
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
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
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
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
