It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.

More quotes by Frank Gehry
It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it.
Frank Gehry
Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable.
Frank Gehry
With computers we can work everything out from the beginning.
Frank Gehry
Your best work is your expression of yourself. Now, you may not be the greatest at it, but when you do it, you're the only expert.
Frank Gehry
When people condemn me for designing iconic buildings in cities and not having an idea what a city is, they haven't done their homework. I started in urban design and city planning. It's just that when I got out of school there wasn't much of a market for that. There still isn't.
Frank Gehry
We should celebrate variety rather than conformity and allow people to express themselves. That we don't is more of our denial.
Frank Gehry
Everything - design and technology and materials - has changed since the World Trade Center was built. A lot of it has to do with computers, which allow us to be far more efficient as well as structurally sound.
Frank Gehry
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
Frank Gehry
For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.
Frank Gehry
My father always told me that I was going to be a failure - I think he was more talking about himself, but I didn't know it at the time.
Frank Gehry
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
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
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
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
We deny our nature to build and create and then wonder why there is so much alienation and dissatisfaction.
Frank Gehry
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.
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
Erich Mendelsohn's drawings are expressive and beautiful. If he'd had the computers we have now, everything I've done he would have done before me. I would have had to figure out something else.
Frank Gehry
Art is about people. I think the discussion about whether architecture is art or not is lamebrain.
Frank Gehry
Your work may be great and not make its way into the big picture... like Van Gogh... so who's to say what's good and bad?
Frank Gehry
