I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
Frank Gehry
Image
The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.
Frank Gehry
Image
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
Image
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
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.

Image
I don't know whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
Frank Gehry
Image
Your work may be great and not make its way into the big picture... like Van Gogh... so who's to say what's good and bad?
Frank Gehry
Image
You have to be optimistic. I still have doubts and conflicts, but the bottom line is, I believe in the future.
Frank Gehry
Image
The safety requirements, which are necessary, spread everything out and push people farther and farther away from the stage and from each other.
Frank Gehry
Image
If you're serious about being an architect, you've got to learn how to take responsibility. It's not fluff. You have to do every detail on every bloody piece of the building. You have to know how the engineering works. You have to know how the fittings go together. You have to master the mechanical, electrical, acoustical - everything.

If I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do it.

Image
There's a drive in us to express ourselves in some way or form. We pick up whatever material is available. It's primitive. Kids see sand on the beach, build something and show their parents: Look what I did, Mama. It's necessary to us.

Image
Erich Mendelsohn's drawings are expressive and beautiful. If he'd had the computers we have now, everything I've done he would have done before me. I would have had to figure out something else.
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
I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.
Frank Gehry
Image
You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.

Everything - design and technology and materials - has changed since the World Trade Center was built. A lot of it has to do with computers, which allow us to be far more efficient as well as structurally sound.
Frank Gehry
Image
Man, there's another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I'm interested in.
Frank Gehry
Image
Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.

Image
In the art world Robert Rauschenberg had been combining common materials that people thought was art and beautiful, and it was. If he could do that, I could emulate him.
