When I view the world, I don't think of my own work. I think of my hope that, through art, people can get a sense of the type of invisible fabric that holds us all together, that holds the world together.

As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.

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

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

I'm always working. If I'm not in my studio I become quite nervous.

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 !
