More quotes by Banksy
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
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
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
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
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
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
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
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
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
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
The Art we look at is made by only a select few. A small group create, promote, purchase, exhibit and decide the success of Art. Only a few hundred people in the world have any real say. When you go to an Art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires
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
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
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
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
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.
