Graffiti is usually a protest - ink on walls - or has a reason for being naughty or aggressive.

A mission statement is not something you write overnight... But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.

The parts of graffiti I like are really antagonizing still - it's not something that a museum would really embrace.

All graffiti is low-level dissent, but stencils have an extra history. They've been used to start revolutions and to stop wars.

Many people decorate their homes with designer graffiti, even though most of them would probably have real graffiti scoured off the walls of their buildings.

Often, organizations need bold, grand gestures to galvanize people towards a new mission or refocus their attention.

I don't believe there is any finer mission on Earth than just to make people laugh.

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

I realize that protest paintings are not exactly in vogue, but I've done many.

I'm an artist with a message, and my message is more for society, casting the mirror onto them and saying, 'Hey, this is what we look like, what are we going to do about it, how are we going to use what we've been through to aid where we're going.'
