More quotes by Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
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 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
You're mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.
Banksy
I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public they forget that invisibility is a superpower.
Banksy
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
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
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
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
Banksy
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
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
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
Fight the fighters, not their wars.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
