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.
BanksyI figure there are enough self-opinionated assholes trying to get their ugly little faces in front of you as it is. You ask a lot of kids today what they want to be when they grow up, and they say, 'I want to be famous.' You ask them, 'For what reason?' and they don't know or care. I think Andy Warhol got it wrong - in the future, so many people are going to become famous that one day everybody will end up being anonymous for 15 minutes.
BanksyIf you want to say something and have people listen then you have to wear a mask. If you want to be honest then you have to live a lie.
BanksyI 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.
