More quotes by Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
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
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
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
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
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
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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
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
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
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
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
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
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
