I never thought heroin was very chic.
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
American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.

I've got really prolific since I moved to Paris where I am living permanently, for the rest of my life, until I find another idea. I have really close women friends here: Valerie, Raymonde, not Joana so much, Maria Schneider, who was always a real heroine of mine who and has now become a close friend.
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.
Nan Goldin
I don't think of Maria Schneider like idol anymore, because I worshipped her when I was young.
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.

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

Stella McCartney is [my] big fan.

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 won't show a picture where a person doesn't look beautiful.
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
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 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.
Nan Goldin
Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.
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
It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.
