More quotes by Nan Goldin
I start to paint my walls. And I'm heavily influenced by films.
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
I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's Flaming Creatures.
Nan Goldin
The thing that drives me most crazy in the world is not to be believed.
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 never read theory. I think that was to my benefit.
Nan Goldin
I remember so many girls when I was growing up who hated the way they looked.
Nan Goldin
I did [heroin] maybe when I was 18 but I got over that pretty quickly.
Nan Goldin
I have the freedom of seeing it [churches and paintings of saints] with a non-Catholic eye without the guilt.
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
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
No Jews have our own guilt, that's why we have psychiatrists - the Jewish version of a priest.
Nan Goldin
I don't even like photography at all. I'm just doing photography until I can do something better.
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
Gena Rowlands is fabulous.
Nan Goldin
It's a hideous feeling to go round shopping and even feel like you are a freak.
Nan Goldin
I won't show a picture where a person doesn't look beautiful.
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
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.
