If the room is friendly to a relationship between lecturer and audience, you feel everything - the tension, the appreciation. I think the audience feels it too.

More quotes by Frank Gehry
I can't just decide myself what's being built. Someone decides what they want, then I work for them.
Frank Gehry
One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Frank Gehry
China is building cities for a 20 to 40 percent increase in population. India is quickly growing. The carbon footprints of that and other development around the world are overwhelming.
Frank Gehry
A well-designed home has to be very comfortable. I can't stand the aesthetes, the minimal thing. I can't live that way. My home has to be filled with stuff - mostly paintings, sculpture, my fish lamps, cardboard furniture, lots of books.
Frank Gehry
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.
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
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
Frank Gehry
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
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
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
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
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.
Frank Gehry
Democracy is a problem and we don't want to get rid of it.
Frank Gehry
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
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 whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
Frank Gehry
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
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 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
