More quotes by 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
I have very healthy strong relationships with women.
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
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.

If I do continue to do fashion, I would want to radicalise it.
Nan Goldin
Stella McCartney is [my] big fan.

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
I'm very flattered when people I respect like my work. It's like a dream of a little kid when somebody I idolised likes my work.
Nan Goldin
As a non-Catholic, and since I was a child, I have been obsessed with the ritual and the beauty of Catholic art. I look at Renaissance art all the time.
Nan Goldin
American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.
Nan Goldin
[I want to] refuting the whole idea that there is only one way to look that women have to be so skinny to look good that they have to be 12 years old and wearing clothes that only women in their 30s and 40s can afford.
Nan Goldin
No Jews have our own guilt, that's why we have psychiatrists - the Jewish version of a priest.
Nan Goldin
Gena Rowlands is fabulous.
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 did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
Nan Goldin
I knew from a very early age, that what I saw on tv had nothing to do with real life. So I wanted to make a record of real life. That included having a camera with me at all times.
