More quotes by Nan Goldin
I remember so many girls when I was growing up who hated the way they looked.
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
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.
Nan Goldin
Gena Rowlands is fabulous.
Nan Goldin
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
Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.
Nan Goldin
The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.
Nan Goldin
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.
Nan Goldin
The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.
Nan Goldin
In Paris now, when I walk into stores and the shopgirls literally say to me every time, We don't have anything in your size.
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
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
One of my assistants, a British man, says I should find a platform for [cosmetic industry]. Meanwhile I wear make-up.
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
I also met Dominique Sanda, who I always worshipped.
Nan Goldin
If I do continue to do fashion, I would want to radicalise it.
Nan Goldin
The complete disregard for the camera's presence indicates its complete saturation in their lives. The subject neither notices nor seems to care that someone has been invited into their private moment.
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
I did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
