As much as we pretend otherwise, we want what's comfortable, and we're afraid of the different. We're afraid of change.
Frank Gehry
Image
A well-designed home has to be very comfortable. I can't stand the aesthetes, the minimal thing. I can't live that way. My home has to be filled with stuff - mostly paintings, sculpture, my fish lamps, cardboard furniture, lots of books.

I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
Frank Gehry
Image
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.

Frank Gehry

Picasso could use everyone's paintings and transform them into his own. He was using ideas from all of his contemporaries.
Frank Gehry
Image
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
Frank Gehry
Image
Everyone has a desire, if not a need, to use their individual signatures. Whenever people meet to talk about a project, even stuffy old businessmen, they say they want to create something new.
Frank Gehry
Image
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
Frank Gehry
Image
Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
Frank Gehry
Image
The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.
Frank Gehry
Image
I don't know whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
Frank Gehry
Image
We should celebrate variety rather than conformity and allow people to express themselves. That we don't is more of our denial.

Image
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
