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.

Image
I like it [Rotterdam] much better than Amsterdam which is too much like a postcard. It's too cute for me. Rotterdam is more real, it's got a stomach.

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.

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.

I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

The main thing that I want to say is that I don't think women are at their most beautiful in their adolescence or in their early 20s.

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.

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.

The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
I won't show a picture where a person doesn't look beautiful.
Nan Goldin
Image
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.

Image
I also met Dominique Sanda, who I always worshipped.

Image
It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.

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.

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.

One of my assistants, a British man, says I should find a platform for [cosmetic industry]. Meanwhile I wear make-up.
Nan Goldin
Image
The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.

I start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.
