“Some people are enraged, and some people are applauding. If there were a mission statement for graffiti, that would be it.”

That’s immediately how I gauge how healthy a city is-by the amount of tags. It’s just in direct competition with advertising. It’s still one of the last things that hasn’t been corrupted.

I’m really into California art from the ’60s.

Most inspiration still comes from bicycling around San Francisco. This city never fails to inspire me. It is one of the most vibrant cities – especially visually – with a constant influx of young energy arriving daily. I love it.

I want to do just, like, regular art. Whatever is made today on canvas goes up against all of art history. Its the most radical thing.

The parts of graffiti I like are really antagonizing still – it’s not something that a museum would really embrace.

The End of Laissez-Faire (1926) might, so far as it goes, serve as a useful introduction to fascist economics. There is scarcely anything to object to in it and there is much to applaud.

In everything give thanks

The opening-night audience is mostly friends of the cast and backers of the show, and they cometo applaud their money.

I mix and match, from top to bottom.

Say, has some wet bird-haunted English lawn Lent it the music of its trees at dawn?

Applaud us when we run, Console us when we fall, Cheer us when we recover.

We can’t all be heroes, because somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by.

Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing.
