It's wonderful to make a lot of money, to be able to take care of my family, to have the facilities I have and really support the people the studio's involved with. But at the end of the day I'm quite simple as an artist-it's really about the power of art.

Quotes from the same author

I'm basically the idea person. I'm not physically involved in the production. I don't have the necessary abilities, so I go to the top people.

 Jeff Koons
Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.
 Jeff Koons
