“Graffiti's always been a temporary art form. You make your mark and then they scrub it off.”

“I've never really understood why people sleep. Wasting a third of your life and becoming vulnerable for almost 8 hours every night. Doesn't seem very appealing to me.”

“Graffiti's always been a temporary art form. You make your mark and then they scrub it off.”

“Should graffiti be judged on the same level as modern art? Of course not: It's way more important than that.”

“There's obviously nothing wrong with selling your art - only an idiot with a trust fund would tell you otherwise. But it's confusing to know how far you should take it.”

“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.”

“You ask a lot of little kids today what they want to be when they grow up and they say "I want to be famous." You ask them for what reason and they don't know or care. I think Andy Warhol got it wrong: in the future so many people are going to become famous that one day everybody will end up being anonymous for fifteen minutes.”

“Art is not like other culture because its success is not made by its audience. The public fill concert halls and cinemas every day, we read novels by the millions, and buy records by the billions. 'We the people'--affect the making and quality of most of our culture, but not our art.”

“There's nothing more dangerous than someone who wants to make the world a better place.”

“The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.”
