More quotes by 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
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
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
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
I'm preprogrammed emotionally and intellectually not to go down blind alleys. I don't waste the time. I automatically edit out whatever's impractical.
Frank Gehry
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
Frank Gehry
I don't micromanage the interiors. People ask me to and I say no. I don't want to control everything.
Frank Gehry
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
Frank Gehry
I didn't have any interest in doing rich people's homes. I still don't.
Frank Gehry
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
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
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
Frank Gehry
If you're serious about being an architect, you've got to learn how to take responsibility. It's not fluff. You have to do every detail on every bloody piece of the building. You have to know how the engineering works. You have to know how the fittings go together. You have to master the mechanical, electrical, acoustical - everything.
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
I can't just decide myself what's being built. Someone decides what they want, then I work for them.
Frank Gehry
People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
Frank Gehry
People say, This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me. Then when somebody does something different, real architecture, the push-back is amazing. People resist it. At first it's new and scary.
Frank Gehry
If I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do it.
Frank Gehry
