Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you're the only expert.
Frank Gehry
People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
Frank Gehry
When you agree to collaborate, you agree to jump off a cliff holding hands with everyone, hoping the resourcefulness of each will insure that you all land on your feet.
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

Frank Gehry
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
Frank Gehry
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.

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

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
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.
Frank Gehry
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.
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
My father always told me that I was going to be a failure - I think he was more talking about himself, but I didn't know it at the time.
Frank Gehry
Everything - design and technology and materials - has changed since the World Trade Center was built. A lot of it has to do with computers, which allow us to be far more efficient as well as structurally sound.
Frank Gehry
It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
