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.

More quotes by Frank Gehry
My father probably - he had flashes of creativity - he used to do store windows for fruit stores that he worked in and stuff.
Frank Gehry
The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It's not about copying me or my logic systems. It's about allowing yourself to be yourself.
Frank Gehry
Democracy is a problem and we don't want to get rid of it.
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
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
Frank Gehry
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
Frank Gehry
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry
Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
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
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 whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
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
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
We're physiologically wired differently.
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
Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.
Frank Gehry
One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Frank Gehry
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
Frank Gehry
I'm going to design the container and interior spaces. You bring your own stuff to it and make it your own.
