"Banksy, myself, and a couple of others, set up a company called Pictures On Walls …and like we really wanted to make cheap affordable art for the masses, like that was a real thing, it’s the thing I’m proudest of. For a very short moment in time we made a difference, we made it OK for ordinary people to like art.""So this is the original sort of mission statement for Pictures On Walls. It’s by far the proudest thing I’ve done. And by far the most powerful thing I think he’s done." – Steve Lazarides
