I don't know if street art ever really works indoors. If you domesticate an animal, it goes from being wild and free to sterile, fat and sleepy. So maybe the art should stay outside.

More quotes by Banksy
All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
You don't need planning permission to build castles in the sky
Banksy
Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.
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
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
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
I am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.
Banksy
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
Although you might have to creep about at night and lie to your mum it’s actually one of the more honest art forms available. There is no elitism or hype, it exhibits on the best walls a town has to offer and nobody is put off by the price of admission.
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
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
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
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
Banksy
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
Banksy
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
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
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
