Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.

It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
Image
There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope.
Frank Gehry
Image
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
Image
Just because you are an architect and make decent buildings does not mean that you can suddenly become a set designer for one of the best avant-garde dancers in the world.
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.

Image
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.

Your best work is your expression of yourself.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
Frank Gehry
Image
We're physiologically wired differently.
Frank Gehry
Image
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.
Frank Gehry
Image
People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
Frank Gehry
Image
The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder in all arenas, political and sociological. I think we have to work in the present even if it's awkward, even if it's not necessarily good, even if we don't understand it ourselves. You only find out 10, maybe 20 years later what was going on.
Frank Gehry
Image
Anybody I talk to agrees that maybe 2 percent of the building environment since the war, we could call architecture.
Frank Gehry
Image
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
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.

Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.

I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
