A lost BBC interview with street Artist Banksy has been unearthed, More Than 20 years since it was recorded.

The recording includes Banksy comparing his approach to Art - which involves producing graffiti undercover at Speed - to microwaving meals.

" It's quick, " the Bristol Artist said, adding: " I want to get it done and dusted. "

The full interview can be heard on BBC Radio 4 's, which is available on BBC Sounds.

A bonus episode of the podcast was specially recorded after The Interview was discovered.

It is one of the earliest known radio interviews with The Artist , who is often described as " mysterious" and " secretive" by The Press .

Banksy's real identity has never been revealed, but The Interview gives his fans, which include many A-list celebrities, a rare chance to hear his voice.

The Artist - at The Time in his 20s - was interviewed by former Bbc Arts correspondent Nigel Wrench in the summer of 2003, to mark the opening of Banksy's Turf War show in East London .

An edited version was aired that July on The Bbc 's Radio 4 PM programme. However, not all of The Material was used.

Many years later, Mr Wrench was listening to The Banksy Story podcast, and this prompted him to recover the full interview on a minidisc in his house.

The never-heard-before material includes Banksy's defence of vandalism as Art .

" I'm Not Here to apologise for it, " he told Mr Wrench. " It's a quicker way of making your point, right?

" In the same way My Mother used to cook Sunday Roast Every Sunday and says Every Sunday , 'it takes hours to make it, minutes to eat'. "

" And These Days she eats microwave meals for one and seems a lot happier. I'm kind of taking that approach to Art really. I want to get it done and dusted. "

When pushed on whether graffiti is vandalism and illegal, Banksy had this advice for people:

" Go out! Trash things! Have fun! " He Said , adding that others, in turn, could Paint Over your work.

" Other People , they can change it. They can get rid of it, " He Said .
