The difference between freedom and slavery is one thin line.
I just wanna make the world a better-looking place. If you don’t like it, you can paint over it!
I don’t believe in anything. I’m just here for the violence.
I give away thousands of paintings for free.
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.
Keep your coins, I want change.
Gaza is often described as ‘the world’s largest open air prison’ because no one is allowed to enter or leave. But that seems a bit unfair to prisons – they don’t have their electricity and drinking water cut off randomly almost everyday.
Nobody knows what you feel inside unless you tell them.
Not everyone will understand your journey. That’s okay. You’re here to live your life, not to make everyone understand.
I love the way capitalism finds a place – even for its enemies.
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.
We don’t need any more heroes; we just need someone to take out the recycling.
You live in the city and all the time there are signs telling you what to do and billboards trying to sell you something.
You’re advised not to drink the replica Arab spring water.
In the future, everybody will be anonymous for 15 minutes.
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.
If you are dirty, insignificant and unloved then rats are the ultimate role model.
Painting something that defies the law of the land is good. Painting something that defies the law of the land and the law of gravity at the same time is ideal.
Some people represent authority without ever possessing any of their own.
People are fond of using military terms to describe what they do. We call it bombing when we go out painting, when of course it’s more like entertaining the troops in a neutral zone, during peacetime in a country without an army.
