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.

More quotes by Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Banksy
If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.
Banksy
We don’t need any more heroes we just need someone to take out the recycling.
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
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
It's a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
Banksy
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
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
Live as a villain, die as a hero
Banksy
Become good at cheating and you never need to become good at anything else.
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
I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website - but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens.
Banksy
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
On Painting Rats, and the Glorification of Them. They exist without permission. They are hated, hunted and persecuted. They live in quiet desperation amongst the filth. And yet they are capable of bringing entire civilizations to their knees. If you are dirty, insignificant, and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
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
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.
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.
