Banksy

All artists are willing to suffer for their art. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?

I'd like to make a film that's so bad it's good. But I don't know how to make a film that's just bad.

You don't need a license to create street art. You just need a wall.

I've never been to art school. I just draw on walls.

The art world is the biggest joke of all. It's a bunch of rich people buying art from each other.

The greatest weapon in the world is a good sense of humor.

I don't think art should be in museums. I think it should be on the streets.

I'm not a revolutionary. I'm just a guy who paints on walls.

I've always been a bit of an outsider. I don't really fit in anywhere.

The art world is a playground for the rich. And I'm just trying to mess it up a bit.

The natural order of things is for artists to be poor. It's only when they get famous that they get rich.

I'm not trying to change the world. I'm just trying to make it a little more interesting.

The world is a stage. And I'm just trying to paint some scenery.

I paint what I want to paint. And if people don't like it, they can paint over it.

The greatest art is the art that makes you think. And if it makes you laugh, even better.

The world is full of people who want to tell you what to do. But I'm not one of them.

I don't believe in rules. I believe in breaking them.

The best way to get arrested is to do something illegal. But the best way to get noticed is to do something outrageous.

I'm not trying to make a statement. I'm just trying to make a mess.

I don't think art should be expensive. I think it should be free.
