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
Film is incredibly democratic and accessible, it's probably the best option if you actually want to change the world, not just re-decorate it.
Banksy
Bus stops are far more interesting and useful places to have art than in museums.
Banksy
I originally set out to try and save the world, but now I'm not sure I like it enough.
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
Nothing is black and white, and there is no purity and there is no such thing has justice.
Banksy
It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.
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
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 a very frustrated feeling you get when the only people with good photos of you work are the police department.
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
A lot of mothers will do anything for their children, except let them be themselves.
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
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
Banksy
I don't believe in anything. I'm just here for the violence.
Banksy
You can win the rat race but you're still a rat.
Banksy
I used to tell everyone I met to be an artist..... I don't do that any more.
Banksy
If at first you don't succeed, Call an airstrike.
Banksy
People either love me or they hate me, or they don't really care.
Banksy
Live as a villain, die as a hero

This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.
