More quotes by Nan Goldin
American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.
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
I won't show a picture where a person doesn't look beautiful.
Nan Goldin
If I do continue to do fashion, I would want to radicalise it.
Nan Goldin
The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.
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
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.
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 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
It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.
Nan Goldin
I always thought if I photographed anyone or anything enough, I would never lose the person, I would never lose the memory, I would never lose the place. But the pictures show me how much I've lost.
Nan Goldin
I start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.
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
The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.
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.
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
I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures.
Nan Goldin
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 know somewhat about Kate [Moss who featured in the Vogue spread]. I always thought that Kate's look had come from my old friend Siobhan Liddell and some of her friends because they dressed like that about ten years ago. Unconsciously, and right after that, that whole look sort of came out.
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.
