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.

Image
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.

I have very healthy strong relationships with women.

I don't think of Maria Schneider like idol anymore, because I worshipped her when I was young.

It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.

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.

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.

My life is more important. At this point in my life I'm alone. I don't think about it a lot.

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 have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

Yes, photography saved my life. Every time I go through something scary, traumatic, I survive by taking pictures.
Nan Goldin
Image
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.

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.

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.

I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures.

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.
