Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
Frank Gehry
In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.
Frank Gehry
The whole can be greater than the sum of it's parts, that we all have something to put in the pie to make it better, and that the collaborative interaction works.
Frank Gehry
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.
Frank Gehry

We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
Frank Gehry
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.
Frank Gehry
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
Frank Gehry
I don't know whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
Frank Gehry
Many people put a green button on their collar and feel good, just like a lot of people put an American flag on their lapels and feel patriotic. It's not enough.I'm not dismissing it.
Frank Gehry
An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
Frank Gehry
If the room is friendly to a relationship between lecturer and audience, you feel everything - the tension, the appreciation. I think the audience feels it too.
Frank Gehry
It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
Frank Gehry
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
Frank Gehry
My father probably - he had flashes of creativity - he used to do store windows for fruit stores that he worked in and stuff.
Frank Gehry
We deny our nature to build and create and then wonder why there is so much alienation and dissatisfaction.
Frank Gehry
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.
