Banksy quotes, by finsburyparkranger on Aug 25, 2007 20:12:43 GMT 1, "Twisted little people go out every day and deface this great city. Leaving their idiotic little scribblings, invading communities and making people feel dirty and used. They take, take, take and don't bother putting anything back. They're mean and selfish and they make the world an ugly place to be. We call them advertising agencies and town planners."
"Occasionally you get images that speak to you, from people who don't have a voice. That's what I want to do. It's not about making money ... but it's a means to an end for me not a hobby ... wanting to get up and put a bit of power back."
"To make a piece of art that actually provoked something serious to happen? I couldn't even dream of that ... but yeah ... I guess that's the aim"

Banksy quotes, by corblimeylimey on Aug 25, 2007 20:19:03 GMT 1, What a good idea for a thread FPR 
"People are taking the piss out of you every day. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you're not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you."

Banksy quotes, by finsburyparkranger on Aug 25, 2007 20:25:05 GMT 1, I'm quick like that. ;D Why not move the revolutionary one in here as well. Thats a profound quote. I love the idea of a bloke in a puffa jacket and trainers muttering that to him self whilst walking through Camden lock.

Banksy quotes, by corblimeylimey on Aug 25, 2007 20:25:33 GMT 1, Just been reading though Cut It Out, there's a few gems in there.
"People say painting graffiti doesn't change anything but the GLA committee found that "house prices can drop by as much as ten per cent in badly affected areas" so it's worth bearing in mind if you want to get on the property ladder"

Banksy quotes, by corblimeylimey on Aug 25, 2007 20:41:48 GMT 1, This one made me laugh out loud, there's a great story about Banksy getting expelled from school for something he didn't do, it's far too long for me to type out here, but the last brief paragraph is....
"Anyone who believes in capital punishment should be shot"

Banksy quotes, by Strange Al on Aug 26, 2007 18:19:44 GMT 1, "The art world is the biggest joke going. It's a rest home for the overprivileged, the pretentious, and the weak. And modern art is a disgrace - never have so many people used so much stuff and taken so long to say so little. Still, the plus side is it's probably the easiest business in the world to walk into with no talent and make a few bucks"

As a precaution to ever committing major acts of evil it is our solemn duty never to do what we're told, this is the only way we can be sure."

Banksy quotes, by carlito on Aug 30, 2007 12:22:25 GMT 1, I wouldn't sell shit to Charles Saatchi. If I sell 55,000 books and however many screen prints, I don't need one man to tell me I'm an artist. It's hugely different if people buy it, rather than one f##king Tory punter does. No, I'd never knowingly sell anything to him.
