Traditional graffiti writers have a bunch of rules they like to stick to, and good luck to them, but I didn't become a graffiti artist so I could have somebody else tell me what to do. If you're the type who gets sentimental about people scribbling over your stuff, I suggest graffiti is probably not the right hobby for you.

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.

I don't think you should have to pay to look at graffiti. You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.

I am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.

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

You live in the city and all the time there are signs telling you what to do and billboards trying to sell you something.

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