More quotes by Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
Painting something that defies the law of the land is good. Painting something that defies the law of the land and the law of gravity at the same time is ideal.
Banksy
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
Banksy
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
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
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
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
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
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
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
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
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
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.
