"There are emotions that prevent us from acting, but work within us and illuminate us."

The name and identity of Banksy remain the subject of speculation. In a 2003 interview with Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, Banksy is described as a "white" 28-year-old, dressed casually in jeans and a t-shirt, scruffy with a chain, an earring, and a tooth, all silver. Banksy was expelled from school, served time for minor offenses, and started as an artist at the age of 14. According to Hattenstone, "anonymity is vital for him because graffiti is illegal," and it is reported that Banksy has lived in Easton, Bristol since the late '90s before moving to London around 2000.

Brad Pitt stated: "He does all this and remains anonymous; I think it's amazing these days, everyone is trying to be famous but he has anonymity."

It is commonly believed that Banksy is a certain Robin Gunningham, as first identified by "The Mail on Sunday" in 2008 and born on July 28, 1973, in Yate, 12 miles (19 km) from Bristol. Many acquaintances and former schoolmates of Robin at "Bristol Cathedral School" have confirmed this. #chiaroscuro
