More quotes by 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 of two minds about doing any interviews these days. It seems a lot of the world is out to play gotcha with me. I guess they always go after people these days. It's sport.
Frank Gehry
We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.
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
I found myself starting architecture with a deep social, Jewish, liberal conscience, and the belief that architecture is for the people. It was a do-gooder base I was born and raised that way. I was for blacks, whites, Italians, Poles, whatever.
Frank Gehry
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
Frank Gehry
You have freedom, so you have to make choices - and at the point when I make a choice, the building starts to look like a Frank Gehry building. It's a signature.
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
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
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
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
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
Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
Frank Gehry
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
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
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
Frank Gehry
The idealism [in architecture] is in the formal arrangement, the relationship to the city, the use of materials that are available to me. That's where I say our powers are limited.
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
There are people who design buildings that are not technically and financially good, and there are those who do. Two categories - simple.
Frank Gehry
