I don't even like photography at all. I'm just doing photography until I can do something better.
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 shot for French and British Vogue. The British Vogue one featured clothes by Chloe and was shot at Highgate and the John Soane Museum. It came out much better in my opinion. I only did one day and was working with my own make-up and hair people and a model who I've known for years.

I don't think of Maria Schneider like idol anymore, because I worshipped her when I was young.
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 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
I start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.
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
My life is more important. At this point in my life I'm alone. I don't think about it a lot.
Nan Goldin
I also met Dominique Sanda, who I always worshipped.
Nan Goldin
I never thought heroin was very chic.
Nan Goldin
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
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 did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
Nan Goldin
I also photographed Maggie Cheung - but these didn't develop into a friendship either.
Nan Goldin
No Jews have our own guilt, that's why we have psychiatrists - the Jewish version of a priest.
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'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
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.
