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 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 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
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.
Nan Goldin
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.
Nan Goldin
I don't even like photography at all. I'm just doing photography until I can do something better.
