I enjoy all mediums, and I have to say, music is the medium that first made me understand how powerful art could be.

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.

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

I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.

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

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.

Even before I had children I wanted the intensity of my life to get greater. I wanted to feel things more strongly. I wanted my intellectual parameters to expand. But it comes back to your own desire to be engaged and to live up to your parameters.
