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.

It doesn't take much to be a successful artist-all you need to do is dedicate your entire life to it.

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

All I know about what people think of my gear is what a couple of my friends tell me, and one of them always wants to borrow money, so I'm not sure how reliable he is.

People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish... but that's only if it's done properly.

When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.

Graffiti ultimately wins out over proper art because it becomes part of your city, it' s a tool; "I'll meet you in that pub, you know, the one opposite that wall with a picture of a monkey holding a chainsaw". I mean, how much more useful can a painting be than that?
