More quotes by Frank Gehry
Liquid architecture. It's like jazz - you improvise, you work together, you play off each other, you make something, they make something. And I think it's a way of - for me, it's a way of trying to understand the city, and what might happen in the city.
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
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
Frank Gehry
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
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
One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
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
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'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
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
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
Here we are surrounded by material that's being manufactured in unimaginable quantities worldwide and is used everywhere. I don't like it, no one likes it, and yet it's pervasive. We don't even see it.
Frank Gehry
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
Frank Gehry
Man, there's another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I'm interested in.
Frank Gehry
In the art world Robert Rauschenberg had been combining common materials that people thought was art and beautiful, and it was. If he could do that, I could emulate him.
Frank Gehry
I didn't have any interest in doing rich people's homes. I still don't.
Frank Gehry
In Tokyo, London or Los Angeles people go into McDonald's and the restaurants are identical and people are comfortable. It's unthreatening.
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.
