More quotes by Nan Goldin
One of my assistants, a British man, says I should find a platform for [cosmetic industry]. Meanwhile I wear make-up.
Nan Goldin
I remember so many girls when I was growing up who hated the way they looked.
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
No Jews have our own guilt, that's why we have psychiatrists - the Jewish version of a priest.
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.
Nan Goldin
[I influenced by ]the work of early [Michelangelo] Antonioni, Orson Welles and [Carlo] Pasolini, I love [Nicolas Jack] Roeg's film Performance.
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
I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.
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 start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.
Nan Goldin
Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.
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
American magazines are becoming very patriotic beyond belief to the point that I can't live there any more.
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
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
Gena Rowlands is fabulous.
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
I never thought heroin was very chic.
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 also met Dominique Sanda, who I always worshipped.
