Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.
Frank Gehry
Image
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.

Democracy is a problem and we don't want to get rid of it.
Frank Gehry
Image
People live and work in uninspiring environments, but look inside those rooms. Look at the painted walls and the decorations. People rebel even in the most controlled office environment in which they're not allowed to do anything. You see the little bulletin board in front of a person's desk with their photos, clippings, cartoons and whatever else.

I'm of two minds about doing any interviews these days. It seems a lot of the world is out to play gotcha with me. I guess they always go after people these days. It's sport.

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
We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.
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
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.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
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
We deny our nature to build and create and then wonder why there is so much alienation and dissatisfaction.
Frank Gehry
Image
For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.
Frank Gehry
Image
I don't micromanage the interiors. People ask me to and I say no. I don't want to control everything.
Frank Gehry
Image
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.
