Art is something that happens inside us. We look at things in the world, and we become excited by them. We understand our own possibilities of becoming. And that's what art is.

More quotes by Jeff Koons
I'm interested in power.
Jeff Koons
Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.
Jeff Koons
For me, art really starts with acceptance, self trust. Wherever you come to with art, its perfect. You dont have to come with anything. What you bring to something is the art. Thats where its found. Its found within you.
Jeff Koons
As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.
Jeff Koons
I don't like being naïve about the market, and I always try to make things as great as I can. Then I hope that there's an audience that enjoys them, and that hopefully those things get protected.
Jeff Koons
I believe in advertisement and media completely. My art and my personal life are based in it. I think that the art world would probably be a tremendous reservoir for everybody involved in advertising.
Jeff Koons
I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
Jeff Koons
I've always enjoyed feeling a connection to the avant-garde, such as Dada and surrealism and pop art. The only thing the artist can do is be honest with themselves and make the art they want to make. That's what I've always done.
Jeff Koons
I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
Jeff Koons
When people make judgments they close all the possibility around them.
Jeff Koons
Art helped give me confidence.
Jeff Koons
People have different ideas, emotional ideas, of what certain words mean, and they think of irony as something that's more associated with being cynical-it's kind of a put-down.
Jeff Koons
I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.
Jeff Koons
I would prefer a normal-sized breast, or a small breast or whatever, and that it be natural, than to understand that it was just some jelly in there.
Jeff Koons
I think about my work every minute of the day.
Jeff Koons
I'm really not a person who consumes a lot. I don't have a sports car.
Jeff Koons
The job of the artist is to make a gesture and really show people what their potential is. It's not about the object, and it's not about the image it's about the viewer. That's where the art happens.
Jeff Koons
I try to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so they feel open participation.
Jeff Koons
I believe that my art gets across the point that I'm in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I'm speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog.
Jeff Koons
The first thing that any good artist has to develop is a sense of independence from the artworld. What really destroys a young artist is insecurity, the fear that everything could be taken away at any moment.
Jeff Koons
