More quotes by Frank Gehry
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
Frank Gehry
I found myself starting architecture with a deep social, Jewish, liberal conscience, and the belief that architecture is for the people. It was a do-gooder base I was born and raised that way. I was for blacks, whites, Italians, Poles, whatever.
Frank Gehry
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
You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
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
Democracy is a problem and we don't want to get rid of it.
Frank Gehry
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry
You have to be optimistic. I still have doubts and conflicts, but the bottom line is, I believe in the future.
Frank Gehry
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.
Frank Gehry
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.
Frank Gehry
In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.
Frank Gehry
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
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
The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.
Frank Gehry
What I have learned about museum buildings is that buildings have to have iconic presentations. The position of the art museum vis-a-vis other civic buildings needs to be hierarchal in the community. It has to be equal to the library and the courthouse.
Frank Gehry
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
Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you're the only expert.
Frank Gehry
There are a great many things about architecture that are hidden from the untrained eye.
Frank Gehry
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.
Frank Gehry
You never build the perfect building. Only Allah is perfect. Life is such. You make decisions on conclusions, then some guy invents something else and the world changes. That's comforting. There's no one way to use museums, no one way to do art. That also means there is no one way to build museums.
