More quotes by Frank Gehry
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
Frank Gehry
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
Frank Gehry
Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
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
You can't ignore history you can't escape it even if you want to. You might as well know where you come from, and you might as well know that everything has been done in some shape or form.
Frank Gehry
Picasso could use everyone's paintings and transform them into his own. He was using ideas from all of his contemporaries.
Frank Gehry
I'm going to design the container and interior spaces. You bring your own stuff to it and make it your own.
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
There's a drive in us to express ourselves in some way or form. We pick up whatever material is available. It's primitive. Kids see sand on the beach, build something and show their parents: Look what I did, Mama. It's necessary to us.
Frank Gehry
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
Frank Gehry
A well-designed home has to be very comfortable. I can't stand the aesthetes, the minimal thing. I can't live that way. My home has to be filled with stuff - mostly paintings, sculpture, my fish lamps, cardboard furniture, lots of books.
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
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
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
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
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
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
Frank Gehry
You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
Frank Gehry
