More quotes by Frank Gehry
The culture of France is unique because it's a culture that has a high priority on the arts, more than any other place in the world in our time since Greece. So as a practicing artist, if you will, this is home ground. They love us, so music, literature, art continues to be the center.
Frank Gehry
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
Frank Gehry
The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.
Frank Gehry
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
The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.
Frank Gehry
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
Frank Gehry
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry
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
When you agree to collaborate, you agree to jump off a cliff holding hands with everyone, hoping the resourcefulness of each will insure that you all land on your feet.
Frank Gehry
The idealism [in architecture] is in the formal arrangement, the relationship to the city, the use of materials that are available to me. That's where I say our powers are limited.
Frank Gehry
The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.
Frank Gehry
You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
Frank Gehry
Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.
Frank Gehry
You can't ignore history you can't escape it even if you want to. You might as well know where you come from, and you might as well know that everything has been done in some shape or form.
Frank Gehry
That's what you have to find in architecture. You have to find your signature. When you find it, you're the only expert on it. People can say they like it or don't like it. They can argue about it, but it's yours.
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.
Frank Gehry
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
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.
Frank Gehry
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
