More quotes by Frank Gehry
The culture of France is unique because it's a culture that has a high priority on the arts, more than any other place in the world in our time since Greece. So as a practicing artist, if you will, this is home ground. They love us, so music, literature, art continues to be the center.
Frank Gehry
I don't know whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
Frank Gehry
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
Frank Gehry
One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Frank Gehry
It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
Frank Gehry
There are a great many things about architecture that are hidden from the untrained eye.
Frank Gehry
People live and work in uninspiring environments, but look inside those rooms. Look at the painted walls and the decorations. People rebel even in the most controlled office environment in which they're not allowed to do anything. You see the little bulletin board in front of a person's desk with their photos, clippings, cartoons and whatever else.
Frank Gehry
You have freedom, so you have to make choices - and at the point when I make a choice, the building starts to look like a Frank Gehry building. It's a signature.
Frank Gehry
The safety requirements, which are necessary, spread everything out and push people farther and farther away from the stage and from each other.
Frank Gehry
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
Frank Gehry
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
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
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
Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
Frank Gehry
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
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
I work from the inside out.
Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
Frank Gehry
One of my unsung heroes is Erich Mendelsohn. I met him when I was a student and he was a cranky old man and very unpleasant. But if you go to his Einstein Tower in Potsdam, Germany you see an enormous intellect at work with a language that was personal and new. It has a sense of urban design and of theater and procession I hadn't seen before.
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.
