More quotes by 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
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
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
The architect Borromini's Quattro Fontane, a little church in Rome, is one of the most beautiful rooms in history.
Frank Gehry
You can't ignore history you can't escape it even if you want to. You might as well know where you come from, and you might as well know that everything has been done in some shape or form.
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
Your best work is your expression of yourself.
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
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
Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen.
Frank Gehry
We live and work in boxes. People don't even notice that.
Frank Gehry
Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.
Frank Gehry
If you know where it's going, it's not worth doing.
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
You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.
Frank Gehry
Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them.
Frank Gehry
I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope.
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
I don't know whose box I'm in, and I don't really care.
Frank Gehry
Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
