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

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.

I remember so many girls when I was growing up who hated the way they looked.

Nan Goldin
The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.
Nan Goldin
If I do continue to do fashion, I would want to radicalise it.

I also photographed Maggie Cheung - but these didn't develop into a friendship either.
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. 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.
Nan Goldin
I did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
Nan Goldin
I never read theory. I think that was to my benefit.
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.

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.
