More quotes by Frank Gehry
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
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
Frank Gehry
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
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
One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Frank Gehry
The culture of France is unique because it's a culture that has a high priority on the arts, more than any other place in the world in our time since Greece. So as a practicing artist, if you will, this is home ground. They love us, so music, literature, art continues to be the center.
Frank Gehry
The whole can be greater than the sum of it's parts, that we all have something to put in the pie to make it better, and that the collaborative interaction works.
Frank Gehry
My father was an urchin that lived in Hell's Kitchen. He was part of a family of nine. I mean, there were times that were better and worse, but mostly, by the time we got to L.A., they'd lost whatever they had. And it was a sad time. And both he and I became truck drivers for different companies.
Frank Gehry
The safety requirements, which are necessary, spread everything out and push people farther and farther away from the stage and from each other.
Frank Gehry
I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
Frank Gehry
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.
Frank Gehry
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.
Frank Gehry
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.
Frank Gehry
We're physiologically wired differently.
Frank Gehry
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
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
Erich Mendelsohn's drawings are expressive and beautiful. If he'd had the computers we have now, everything I've done he would have done before me. I would have had to figure out something else.
Frank Gehry
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
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.
