Frank Gehry
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry
You have to be optimistic. I still have doubts and conflicts, but the bottom line is, I believe in the future.
Frank Gehry
We don't see the banality, but we accept banality. We accept it as inevitable, and it's not.
Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry
I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.
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
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
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
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
