I need someone to protect me from all the measures they take in order to protect me.
Nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.
If you want someone to be ignored then build a life-size bronze statue of them and stick it in the middle of town. It doesn’t matter how great you were, it’ll always take an unfunny drunk with climbing skills to make people notice you.
I like to think I have the guts to stand up anonymously in a western democracy and call for things no-one else believes in – like peace and justice and freedom.
A lot of people never use their initiative because no-one told them to.
Writing graffiti is about the most honest way you can be an artist. It takes no money to do it, you don’t need an education to understand it, and there’s no admission fee.
Is graffiti art or vandalism? That word has a lot of negative connotations and it alienates people, so no, I don’t like to use the word ‘art’ at all.
If you have a statue in the city centre you could go past it every day on your way to school and never even notice it, right. But as soon as someone puts a traffic cone on its head, you’ve made your own sculpture.
All graffiti is low-level dissent, but stencils have an extra history. They’ve been used to start revolutions and to stop wars.
I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.
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.
