We should celebrate variety rather than conformity and allow people to express themselves. That we don't is more of our denial.
Frank Gehry
Image
I don't micromanage the interiors. People ask me to and I say no. I don't want to control everything.
Frank Gehry
Image
Here we are surrounded by material that's being manufactured in unimaginable quantities worldwide and is used everywhere. I don't like it, no one likes it, and yet it's pervasive. We don't even see it.
Frank Gehry
Image
You have to be optimistic. I still have doubts and conflicts, but the bottom line is, I believe in the future.
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.

Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.
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
There are a great many things about architecture that are hidden from the untrained eye.
Frank Gehry
Image
I'm going to design the container and interior spaces. You bring your own stuff to it and make it your own.
Frank Gehry
Image
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
Frank Gehry
Image
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.

Image
Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
Frank Gehry
Image
The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder in all arenas, political and sociological. I think we have to work in the present even if it's awkward, even if it's not necessarily good, even if we don't understand it ourselves. You only find out 10, maybe 20 years later what was going on.
