Usually people just do their own work. But I want to deal with the place and what it means to show in a mental hospital.

In Paris now, when I walk into stores and the shopgirls literally say to me every time, We don't have anything in your size.

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.

The only time I went out was to go to bars at night and all the pictures were taken with a flash because there was no light at all. However now I'm very interested in light.

I never read theory. I think that was to my benefit.

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

I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.
Nan Goldin
I shot for French and British Vogue. The British Vogue one featured clothes by Chloe and was shot at Highgate and the John Soane Museum. It came out much better in my opinion. I only did one day and was working with my own make-up and hair people and a model who I've known for years.

Stella McCartney is [my] big fan.
