More quotes by 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
You're advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
Banksy
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.
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
The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.
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 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
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
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
If it doesn’t matter, get rid of it. If you can’t get rid of it, it matters.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
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
Should # graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that
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
We can't do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
