My dad was such a bigot. He was a horrible, self-centred person. He was really racist and he'd talk about the Jews and blacks and Catholics even.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I always need to get away fro...

I always need to get away from whatever it is I've just finished, to feel a distance from it.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

People assume that a self-por...

People assume that a self-portrait is narcissistic and you're trying to reveal something about yourself: fantasies or autobiographical information. In fact, none of my work is about me or my private life.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I wanted pretty pictures of o...

I wanted pretty pictures of older women - women who are trying too hard but succeeding - pulling off an extreme look. What I didn't know would creep into the portraits was a vulnerability behind the strong facade that most of them wear.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I think people are more apt t...

I think people are more apt to believe photographs, especially if it's something fantastic. They're willing to be more gullible. Sometimes they want fantasy.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

We're all products of what we...

We're all products of what we want to project to the world. Even people who don't spend any time, or think they don't, on preparing themselves for the world out there - I think that ultimately they have for their whole lives groomed themselves to be a certain way, to present a face to the world.

I'm really just using the mir...

I'm really just using the mirror to summon something I don't even know until I see it.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

As I was looking through a bo...

As I was looking through a book about German Expressionist films and their stars, it all came together because of the extreme way actors made their faces up in those early day of film in order to pop out in the black-and-white. I just wanted to use makeup in the same way, partly perhaps because as women get older, they're told to wear less makeup.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

Quite often, I will do someth...

Quite often, I will do something and think, 'Oh, no, she looks a little too much like me.' I have tried to learn not to be afraid of that when that happens. I am not trying to obliterate myself and completely hide within the images like I used to.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I'll see a photograph of a ch...

I'll see a photograph of a character and try to copy them on to my face. I think I'm really observant, and thinking how a person is put together, seeing them on the street and noticing subtle things about them that make them who they are.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I think I always resented the...

I think I always resented the fact that people thought I was trying to entertain them with my multifaceted, chameleonlike character changes. Although I liked doing that, I wasn't out to fool people and say 'Guess which one is me.'

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

Every time you have to come u...

Every time you have to come up with a new body of work for a new show, you're aware that people are just ready to rip you apart, they're just waiting for you to fall or make the slightest trip up.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I realised that in my last tw...

I realised that in my last two bodies of work - the mural and the Chanel pieces - that I didn't use any make-up because I was changing the faces digitally, and I realised I missed make-up in a major way.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I want there to be hints of n...

I want there to be hints of narrative everywhere in the image so that people can make up their own stories about them. But I don't want to have my own narrative and force it on to them.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

People think because it's pho...

People think because it's photography it's not worth as much, and because it's a woman artist, you're still not getting as much - there's still definitely that happening. I'm still really competitive when it comes to, I guess, the male painters and male artists. I still think that's really unfair.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

Everyone thinks these are sel...

Everyone thinks these are self-portraits but they aren't meant to be. I just use myself as a model because I know I can push myself to extremes, make each shot as ugly or goofy or silly as possible.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

Inconsiderate, rude behavior ...

Inconsiderate, rude behavior drives me nuts. And I guess the inconsiderate rudeness of social ineptitude definitely fuels my work.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I wanted to create something ...

I wanted to create something that people could relate to without having read a book about it beforehand.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I am fine, though it is hard ...

I am fine, though it is hard to think of what kind of work to make at this point, other than decorative, escapist or abstract. I suppose I'll explore one or all of these things.

Cindy Sherman 45 quotes

I don't think I can see the w...

I don't think I can see the world through other people's eyes, but I can capture an attitude or a look that makes others think I can. I have an appreciation for why people choose to look the way they do. But I can't know what they experience.
