More quotes by Nan Goldin
I never read theory. I think that was to my benefit.
Nan Goldin
That's where I got the idea to paint the walls of the gallery with varied colours [at the Whitechapel show]. I tried to figure out how all these Renaissance paintings manage to work together.
Nan Goldin
I'm not ashamed of my body and you know everything in the fashion world, if I was vulnerable to it, could drive me crazy. I think it produces so much self-hatred.
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.
Nan Goldin
I remember so many girls when I was growing up who hated the way they looked.
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 have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.
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 used to think that I could never lose anyone if I photographed them enough. In fact, my pictures show me how much I’ve lost.
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.
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
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
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
I knew from a very early age, that what I saw on tv had nothing to do with real life. So I wanted to make a record of real life. That included having a camera with me at all times.
Nan Goldin
American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.
Nan Goldin
No Jews have our own guilt, that's why we have psychiatrists - the Jewish version of a priest.
Nan Goldin
I did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
Nan Goldin
I won't show a picture where a person doesn't look beautiful.
Nan Goldin
My life is more important. At this point in my life I'm alone. I don't think about it a lot.
Nan Goldin
Gena Rowlands is fabulous.
