“Our kids are actually doing what we told them to do when they sit in front of that TV all day or in front of that computer game all day. The society is telling kids unconsciously that nature's in the past.

“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.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantTryingLittlesEndsSelfReasonEnoughCareKidsTodayFacesAsksGrowsGrowing UpMinutesFrontsFiguresOne DayUglyOpinionatedWarhol Author:Banksy
