This is a big surprise I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.

If 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.

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.

T.V. has made going to the theatre seem pointless, photography has pretty much killed painting but graffiti has remained gloriously unspoilt by progress.

Not everyone will understand your journey. That's okay. You're here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.

Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing.

I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website - but on the internet, people only look at pictures of kittens.
