More quotes by Frank Gehry
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
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 am obsessed with architecture. It is true, I am restless, trying to find myself as an architect, and how best to contribute in this world filled with contradiction, disparity, and inequality, even passion and opportunity.
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
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
We're physiologically wired differently.
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.
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
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
Frank Gehry
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
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
Some cultures tried to stop people from expressing themselves. In Mao's China, for example, the Communists tried to stop individual expression. For them the payoff was a society of equality. The problem of course is that it didn't work.
Frank Gehry
I think my best skill as an architect is the achievement of hand-to-eye coordination. I am able to transfer a sketch into a model into the building.
Frank Gehry
You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
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
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
Frank Gehry
We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.
Frank Gehry
For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.
Frank Gehry
I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
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.
