More quotes by 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.

It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.
Nan Goldin
I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.

It's so rare to see a woman's sexuality, real female sexuality, either in the shows or in the clothes.
Nan Goldin
The things that I look at include Renaissance art. I'm obsessed with churches and paintings of saints.

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

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 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 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
As a non-Catholic, and since I was a child, I have been obsessed with the ritual and the beauty of Catholic art. I look at Renaissance art all the time.
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 did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
