More quotes by Frank Gehry
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
Frank Gehry
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
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
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me.
Frank Gehry
I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.
Frank Gehry

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.
Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry
China is building cities for a 20 to 40 percent increase in population. India is quickly growing. The carbon footprints of that and other development around the world are overwhelming.
Frank Gehry
Look, architecture has a lot of places to hide behind, a lot of excuses. The client made me do this. The city made me do this. Oh, the budget. I don't believe that anymore.
Frank Gehry
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
Frank Gehry
The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.
Frank Gehry
One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
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 don't know whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
Frank Gehry
An architect is given a program, budget, place, and schedule. Sometimes the end product rises to art - or at least people call it that.
Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
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.
