Image
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
Frank Gehry
Image
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
Frank Gehry
Image
It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
Frank Gehry
Image
Everyone has a desire, if not a need, to use their individual signatures. Whenever people meet to talk about a project, even stuffy old businessmen, they say they want to create something new.
Frank Gehry
Image
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry
Image
I am obsessed with architecture. It is true, I am restless, trying to find myself as an architect, and how best to contribute in this world filled with contradiction, disparity, and inequality, even passion and opportunity.

Frank Gehry
Image

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.
Frank Gehry
Image
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry
Image
Architecture is a small piece of this human equation, but for those of us who practice it, we believe in its potential to make a difference, to enlighten and to enrich the human experience, to penetrate the barriers of misunderstandin g and provide a beautiful context for life's drama.

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
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
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.
