Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.
Frank Gehry
Image
Here we are surrounded by material that's being manufactured in unimaginable quantities worldwide and is used everywhere. I don't like it, no one likes it, and yet it's pervasive. We don't even see it.

Frank Gehry
Image
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
Frank Gehry
Image
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction. Everybody’s an artist. Unfortunately we don’t treat them as such.
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.
Frank Gehry
Image
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry
Image
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
Frank Gehry
Image
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me.
Frank Gehry
Image
People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
Frank Gehry
Image
I'm preprogrammed emotionally and intellectually not to go down blind alleys. I don't waste the time. I automatically edit out whatever's impractical.
