More quotes by 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.

Nan Goldin
It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.
Nan Goldin
American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.
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
It's so rare to see a woman's sexuality, real female sexuality, either in the shows or in the clothes.

Stella McCartney is [my] big fan.

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.

No Jews have our own guilt, that's why we have psychiatrists - the Jewish version of a priest.
