More quotes by Frank Gehry
When people condemn me for designing iconic buildings in cities and not having an idea what a city is, they haven't done their homework. I started in urban design and city planning. It's just that when I got out of school there wasn't much of a market for that. There still isn't.
Frank Gehry
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.
Frank Gehry
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
Frank Gehry
In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.
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
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
Frank Gehry
My father always told me that I was going to be a failure - I think he was more talking about himself, but I didn't know it at the time.
Frank Gehry
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
Frank Gehry
We deny our nature to build and create and then wonder why there is so much alienation and dissatisfaction.
Frank Gehry
The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.
Frank Gehry
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
Frank Gehry
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
I didn't have any interest in doing rich people's homes. I still don't.
Frank Gehry
Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
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
We should celebrate variety rather than conformity and allow people to express themselves. That we don't is more of our denial.
Frank Gehry
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
Frank Gehry
We're physiologically wired differently.
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
