If You Are Dirty, Insignificant And Unloved

It's Impossible To Predict Which Paintings Will Last And Which Won't. In New Orleans I Painted On A Dilapidated Shop In A Street Littered With Abandoned Cars And Rotting Mattresses, Then Two Hours Later The Piece Was Gone. It Turned Out I'd Picked The Side Of A Crack House And The Proprietor Didn't Like The Attention.

Traditional Graffiti Writers Have A Bunch Of Rules They Like To Stick To, And Good Luck To Them, But I Didn't Become A Graffiti Artist So I Could Have Somebody Else Tell Me What To Do. If You're The Type Who Gets Sentimental About People Scribbling Over Your Stuff, I Suggest Graffiti Is Probably Not The Right Hobby For You.

I Figure There Are Enough Self-opinionated Assholes Trying To Get Their Ugly Little Faces In Front Of You As It Is. You Ask A Lot Of 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 15 Minutes.

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.

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.
