The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.

There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
Frank Gehry
Image
You have freedom, so you have to make choices - and at the point when I make a choice, the building starts to look like a Frank Gehry building. It's a signature.

The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder in all arenas, political and sociological. I think we have to work in the present even if it's awkward, even if it's not necessarily good, even if we don't understand it ourselves. You only find out 10, maybe 20 years later what was going on.

Image
Just because you are an architect and make decent buildings does not mean that you can suddenly become a set designer for one of the best avant-garde dancers in the world.
Frank Gehry
Image
I think my best skill as an architect is the achievement of hand-to-eye coordination. I am able to transfer a sketch into a model into the building.
Frank Gehry
Image
Some cultures tried to stop people from expressing themselves. In Mao's China, for example, the Communists tried to stop individual expression. For them the payoff was a society of equality. The problem of course is that it didn't work.

With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
Frank Gehry

Your best work is your expression of yourself.
Frank Gehry

Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
