I didn't have any interest in doing rich people's homes. I still don't.
Frank Gehry
Image
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
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
I used to sketch - that's the way I thought out loud. Then they made a book of my sketches, and I got self-conscious, so now I don't do it much.
Frank Gehry
Image
Here we are surrounded by material that's being manufactured in unimaginable quantities worldwide and is used everywhere. I don't like it, no one likes it, and yet it's pervasive. We don't even see it.

Image
My father probably - he had flashes of creativity - he used to do store windows for fruit stores that he worked in and stuff.
Frank Gehry
Image
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
Frank Gehry
Image
I don't micromanage the interiors. People ask me to and I say no. I don't want to control everything.
Frank Gehry
Image
An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.

People live and work in uninspiring environments, but look inside those rooms. Look at the painted walls and the decorations. People rebel even in the most controlled office environment in which they're not allowed to do anything. You see the little bulletin board in front of a person's desk with their photos, clippings, cartoons and whatever else.

Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
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.I'm not dismissing it.
Frank Gehry
Image
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
Frank Gehry
Image
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
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
We deny our nature to build and create and then wonder why there is so much alienation and dissatisfaction.
Frank Gehry
Image
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.

Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.

Image
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.

People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
