Image
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
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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.
Jeff Koons
Image
I try to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so they feel open participation.
Jeff Koons

Whenever you finish an artwork and the viewer comes and views it, at that moment you've given up control.

Abstraction and luxury are the guard dogs of the upper class.
Jeff Koons
Image
I'm interested in power.
Jeff Koons
Image
I enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be.
Jeff Koons
Image
I spend much more time looking at art history and at different references to art than I do at actual objects.
Jeff Koons
Image
I produce a lot of my artwork in Germany.
Jeff Koons
Image
I always liked Disney films. To this day I think 'Bambi' is great.
Jeff Koons
Image
I'm interested in power. I'm interested in the kind of polarities and equilibriums that take place within sexuality and philosophy and sociology. So in Versailles, in this type of setting, you have a place that is about absolute control, where everything has been thought about.
Jeff Koons

It's wonderful to make a lot of money, to be able to take care of my family, to have the facilities I have and really support the people the studio's involved with. But at the end of the day I'm quite simple as an artist-it's really about the power of art.
