Man, there's another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I'm interested in.
Frank Gehry
Image
We're physiologically wired differently.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
I love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Frank Gehry
Image
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
Frank Gehry
Image
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

Image
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
Frank Gehry
Image
You can look anywhere and find inspiration.
Frank Gehry
Image
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.
Frank Gehry
Image
I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
Frank Gehry
Image
Your work may be great and not make its way into the big picture... like Van Gogh... so who's to say what's good and bad?
Frank Gehry
Image
Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
Frank Gehry
Image
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction. Everybody’s an artist. Unfortunately we don’t treat them as such.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
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.

The safety requirements, which are necessary, spread everything out and push people farther and farther away from the stage and from each other.
