Entrevistando Banksy

quinta-feira, outubro 15th, 2009

Rolou uma super entrevista no capricho com o grande Banksy pela revista Swindle:

“I have no interest in ever coming out. 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’m just trying to make the pictures look good; I’m not into trying to make myself look good. I’m not into fashion. The pictures generally look better than I do when we’re out on the street together. Plus, I obviously have issues with the cops. And besides, it’s a pretty safe bet that the reality of me would be a crushing disappointment to a couple of 15-year-old kids out there.”

Numa época em que a maioria faz tudo por um holofote, a gente tira o chapéu para ele duas vezes: uma pelo trabalho, que é foda e outro pela postura que ele tem. Na entrevista ele também conta sobre os poucos trabalhos comerciais que fez, justificando que fez para pagar contas e também por serem trabalhos que ele acredita e/ou gosta, como a capa do álbum do Blur. E claro, afirma que muita gente ganha muito mais dinheiro em cima do trabalho dele do que ele mesmo.
