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
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
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
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
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
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
Banksy
I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.
Banksy
I don't think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
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
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
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
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
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
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
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.
