More quotes by 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
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 people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
There are four basic human needs food, sleep, sex and revenge.
Banksy
Is graffiti art or vandalism? That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don't like to use the word 'art' at all.
Banksy
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.
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
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
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
It's impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won't. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone. It turned out I'd picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn't like the attention.
Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
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
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
