It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.
Frank Gehry
Image
I have always thought that L.A. is a motor city that developed linear downtowns.
Frank Gehry
Image
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
Image
In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.
Frank Gehry
Image
There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling.
Frank Gehry
Image
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 love working. I don't know what the word vacation means.

If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.

What I have learned about museum buildings is that buildings have to have iconic presentations. The position of the art museum vis-a-vis other civic buildings needs to be hierarchal in the community. It has to be equal to the library and the courthouse.

Image
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
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
We deny our nature to build and create and then wonder why there is so much alienation and dissatisfaction.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
Image
I didn't have any interest in doing rich people's homes. I still don't.
Frank Gehry
Image
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
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
The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.
Frank Gehry
Image
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
The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.

My father was an urchin that lived in Hell's Kitchen. He was part of a family of nine. I mean, there were times that were better and worse, but mostly, by the time we got to L.A., they'd lost whatever they had. And it was a sad time. And both he and I became truck drivers for different companies.
