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.

Nan Goldin
I have very healthy strong relationships with women.
Nan Goldin
It's so rare to see a woman's sexuality, real female sexuality, either in the shows or in the clothes.
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
It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.
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.
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
