More quotes by Frank Gehry
I used to sketch - that's the way I thought out loud. Then they made a book of my sketches, and I got self-conscious, so now I don't do it much.
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
As much as we pretend otherwise, we want what's comfortable, and we're afraid of the different. We're afraid of change.
Frank Gehry
Ninety percent of the buildings we live in and around aren't architecture. No, that's not right - 98 percent.
Frank Gehry
People say, This is the world the way it is, and don't bother me. Then when somebody does something different, real architecture, the push-back is amazing. People resist it. At first it's new and scary.
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
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
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
Just because you are an architect and make decent buildings does not mean that you can suddenly become a set designer for one of the best avant-garde dancers in the world.
Frank Gehry
People are searching for something they don't have in their lives. There's an unfulfilled need.
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
My father probably - he had flashes of creativity - he used to do store windows for fruit stores that he worked in and stuff.
Frank Gehry
Computers allow architects to remain parental instead of being marginalized by the contractors and managers.
Frank Gehry
I don't know why people hire architects and then tell them what to do.
Frank Gehry
People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
Frank Gehry
I'm preprogrammed emotionally and intellectually not to go down blind alleys. I don't waste the time. I automatically edit out whatever's impractical.
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
You never build the perfect building. Only Allah is perfect. Life is such. You make decisions on conclusions, then some guy invents something else and the world changes. That's comforting. There's no one way to use museums, no one way to do art. That also means there is no one way to build museums.

We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
