More quotes by 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
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
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
Childhood play is nothing more than an expression of our individuality and preparation for human interaction.
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
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
There are a great many things about architecture that are hidden from the untrained eye.
Frank Gehry
We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.

People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
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
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
Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
Frank Gehry
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
Frank Gehry
In Tokyo, London or Los Angeles people go into McDonald's and the restaurants are identical and people are comfortable. It's unthreatening.
Frank Gehry
I didn't have any interest in doing rich people's homes. I still don't.
Frank Gehry
I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
Frank Gehry
We're physiologically wired differently.
Frank Gehry
If I knew where I was going, I wouldn't do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don't do 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
