More quotes by Nan Goldin
I've become really interested in the landscape but not as landscape but more as it relates to mood and how we live and how the outside impacts on the inside. I didn't really look at the outside world during the years I was photographing the Ballad as I was locked inside my house and I lived totally inside.
Nan Goldin
American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.

When I put my big retrospective together in '96 [for the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York], I saw that there were all these pictures of people inside looking out. All these pictures of women in water and mirrors. I don't know what it means.
Nan Goldin
I like Stella [McCartney] a lot - she's a very open and warm person. I don't particularly want to know about her background.
Nan Goldin
Of course I was wearing make-up, I never went anywhere without red lipstick for 25 years! It was a form of self-preservation for me to continue to wear lipstick even though my face was broken.

I also photographed Maggie Cheung - but these didn't develop into a friendship either.

If I do continue to do fashion, I would want to radicalise it.

The complete disregard for the camera's presence indicates its complete saturation in their lives. The subject neither notices nor seems to care that someone has been invited into their private moment.
Nan Goldin
If I say something honestly, generally, I am being completely honest and don't tell me I am lying. It drives me crazy to be told I set up my pictures. How does it benefit me to lie? I guess they are afraid to believe it and are afraid to look at it.

I also met Dominique Sanda, who I always worshipped.
Nan Goldin
I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.
Nan Goldin
I'm very flattered when people I respect like my work. It's like a dream of a little kid when somebody I idolised likes my work.
Nan Goldin
I had said that when the first Bush got elected that I would leave the country. And when the second Bush wasn't even elected properly.
Nan Goldin
I have very healthy strong relationships with women.
Nan Goldin
Gena Rowlands is fabulous.
Nan Goldin
[I want to] refuting the whole idea that there is only one way to look that women have to be so skinny to look good that they have to be 12 years old and wearing clothes that only women in their 30s and 40s can afford.
Nan Goldin
I have no ambivalence about myself wearing make-up or designer clothes but I have an enormous ambivalence about what the fashion world has done to women.
Nan Goldin
The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.
Nan Goldin
I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures.
Nan Goldin
As a non-Catholic, and since I was a child, I have been obsessed with the ritual and the beauty of Catholic art. I look at Renaissance art all the time.
