The moment we live in is a great time to make art. We have different technologies to play with, and we're left with the opportunity to focus on our work.

A lot of my work is about sales. And it was about being independent from the art market.

Art was something I could do better. It gave me a sense of self.

If I try to articulate every little detail in a drawing, it would be like missing the forest for the trees, so it's just about getting the outline of the forest.

I learned a lot about the images of pornography and how much they dealt with close-up, when a person is at their most vulnerable and having to reveal details about themselves. I wanted to combine the eternal in two different manners. There is the biological eternal - here is our species reproducing - and then the transparent, spiritual aspect of it.

I try to be a truthful artist and I try to show a level of courage. I enjoy that. I'm a messenger.

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