More quotes by 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
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
Frank Gehry
We're physiologically wired differently.
Frank Gehry
I don't micromanage the interiors. People ask me to and I say no. I don't want to control everything.
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
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
The back of Saint Peter's is one of the finest pieces of architecture I've ever seen.
Frank Gehry
I don't know how to overcome this perception that I'm extravagant.
Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry
There is an order to our environment, a broader order.
Frank Gehry
I'm going to design the container and interior spaces. You bring your own stuff to it and make it your own.
Frank Gehry
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.
Frank Gehry
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that. Most of what's around us is banal. We live with it. We accept it as inevitable. People say, This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me.
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
Time is just a blur for me. I don't know what - I don't even know where I am sometimes.
Frank Gehry
The fact is I'm an opportunist. I'll take materials around me, materials on my table, and work with them as I'm searching for an idea that works.
Frank Gehry
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
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
Democracy is a problem and we don't want to get rid of it.
Frank Gehry
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
