Jeff Koons Artist Quotations

I'm always trying to create work that doesn't make viewers feel they're being spoken down to, so that they feel open participation.

The first thing that any good artist has to develop is a sense of independence from the artworld. What really destroys a young artist is insecurity, the fear that everything could be taken away at any moment.

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

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

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