“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.”

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.

Speak softly, but carry a big can of paint.

Keep your coins, I want change.

If Michaelangelo or Leonardo Da Vinci were alive today they’d be making Avatar, not painting a chapel.

Anyone who believes in capital punishment should be shot

If you feel dirty, insignificant or unloved, then rats are a good role model. They exist without permission, they have no respect for the hierarchy of society, and they have sex 50 times a day.

People are fond of using military terms to describe what they do. We call it bombing when we go out painting, when of course it’s more like entertaining the troops in a neutral zone, during peacetime in a country without an army.

I don’t think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.

If you want someone to be ignored then build a life-size bronze statue of them and stick it in the middle of town. It doesn’t matter how great you were, it’ll always take an unfunny drunk with climbing skills to make people notice you.

There are four basic human needs; food, sleep, sex and revenge.

Live as a villain, die as a hero

At this time of year it’s easy to forget the true meaning of Christianity – the lies, the corruption, the abuse.

Graffiti is only dangerous in the mind of three types of people; politicians, advertising executives and graffiti writers.

Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.

Real painters understand with a brush in their hand.

Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.

It’s not what you do but that kind of job you do that makes the difference.

The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping.

Lots of people talk to animals… Not very many listen, though… That’s the problem.

Beware of the stories you read or tell; subtly, at night, beneath the waters of consciousness, they are altering your world.

One of the things I’ve learned is to be receptive of feedback.

Competitions are for horses, not artists.
