“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.”

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.

Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s okay. You’re here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.

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.

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.

Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.

People who get up early in the morning cause war, death and famine.

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

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.

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 craft of painting has virtually disappeared. There is hardly anyone left who really possesses it. For evidence one has only to look at the painters of this century.

I’ve always cared about fashion and what I look like.

I think by shattering it we can create a new form, a new way to look at what is valuable – how we decide what is valuable.

[What she told herself before interviews:] I am the way I am; I look the way I look; I am my age.

I like to look at the glass half full.

Anything I’ve not experienced I do not look to for a subject. I have to feel it.

I just look at women sometimes and I just want to ask them, “Do you know how fabulous you are?”

Actor is just a strange profession, it really is, that you could be in front of the same people for years, and all of a sudden one thing happens, and it finally clicks.
