More from Banksy
I used to encourage everyone I knew to make art; I don’t do that so much anymore.
BanksyBanksy People seem to think if they dress like a revolutionary they don`t actually have to behave like one.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s okay. You’re here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
BanksyBanksy People who get up early in the morning cause war, death and famine.
BanksyBanksy I used to encourage everyone I knew to make art; I don’t do that so much anymore.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy It’s impossible to predict which paintings will last and which won’t. In New Orleans I painted on a dilapidated shop in a street littered with abandoned cars and rotting mattresses, then two hours later the piece was gone. It turned out I’d picked the side of a crack house and the proprietor didn’t like the attention.
BanksyBanksy 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.
BanksyBanksy 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.
