“A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.”

In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.

We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.

I’d been painting rats for three years before someone said ‘that’s clever it’s an anagram of art’ and I had to pretend I’d known that all along.

I used to encourage everyone I knew to make art; I don’t do that so much anymore.

People seem to think if they dress like a revolutionary they don`t actually have to behave like one.

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.

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.

You’re mind is working at its best when you’re being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity.

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.

The more his character, by rising above material contingencies, widen, become free and independent.

All of my friends are independent in thought, that’s important.

The more a man is successful in getting out (or coming out) from his own individuality, of his egoist self, and to control (or dominate) the instincts of his physical nature.

I’m a teenager, but I’m independent – I have my own apartment, I have my own life.

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.

The child..will try to make himself..independent of other people. .

And why is this done? For no other reason, I am sure, except to make us independent of a Creator.

Every substance is as a world apart, independent of everything else except God.
