I went to art school... but I worked at the Museum of Modern Art. I worked in fundraising at the information membership desk. I ended up, over a period of time, doubling the amount of membership revenue that came in through people entering the museum, so people would ask me to come and work for them.

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.

My favorite activity is to be with my family.

Nothing can touch me now - I'm Jeff Koons and my art can defend me !

I'd have to say I've become more aware of my communal responsibility.

I want my work to be accessible to people.

I think you always, as an artist, feel like you would like to be more and more specific about your intent and your interests.
