I always liked Disney films. To this day I think 'Bambi' is great.

I'm interested in power.

I don't believe that artists really are interested in money. That's not the motivation for art.

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.

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.

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

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.
