" In the same way My Mother used to cook Sunday Roast Every Sunday and says Every Sunday , 'it takes hours to make it, minutes to eat'. "
" And These Days she eats microwave meals for one and seems a lot happier. I'm kind of taking that approach to Art really. I want to get it done and dusted. "
When pushed on whether graffiti is vandalism and illegal, Banksy had this advice for people:
" Go out! Trash things! Have fun! " He Said , adding that others, in turn, could Paint Over your work.
" Other People , they can change it. They can get rid of it, " He Said .
