There are places that are so ...

There are places that are so designed they're unlivable.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Just because you are an archi...

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 89 quotes

I do my best to choose carefu...

I do my best to choose carefully. If I don’t feel that collaboration is going to happen, I say no. Think about it. These projects can involve a five-to-seven-year partnership. If you don’t feel comfortable with someone, you can’t get rid of them. I just walked away from a job for that reason. Every one of these projects is an emotional investment, like falling in love. You’ve got to believe in it and you’ve got to like the people you work with.

The safety requirements, whic...

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 89 quotes

In the Renaissance there wasn...

In the Renaissance there wasn't a distinction. Bernini was an artist and he made architecture, and Michelangelo also did some great architecture.

Picasso could use everyone's ...

Picasso could use everyone's paintings and transform them into his own. He was using ideas from all of his contemporaries.

When you were a kid, if you went to the Montreal Forum or a hockey game at Maple Leaf Gardens, which I did, there was a great feeling. The new stadiums don't have it. Why don't they have it? Building codes.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

It should begin much earlier ...

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

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Many people put a green butto...

Many people put a green button on their collar and feel good, just like a lot of people put an American flag on their lapels and feel patriotic. It's not enough.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

The present is filled with fl...

The present is filled with flotsam and irony and chaos and disorder in all arenas, political and sociological. I think we have to work in the present even if it's awkward, even if it's not necessarily good, even if we don't understand it ourselves. You only find out 10, maybe 20 years later what was going on.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

In Tokyo, London or Los Angel...

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 89 quotes

When you agree to collaborate...

When you agree to collaborate, you agree to jump off a cliff holding hands with everyone, hoping the resourcefulness of each will insure that you all land on your feet.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Anybody I talk to agrees that...

Anybody I talk to agrees that maybe 2 percent of the building environment since the war, we could call architecture.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

I've been told I have the big...

I've been told I have the biggest ego in the world and that it manifests itself when you come to me and say, 'I don't like this' or 'I want a change'... and that I relish that because my ego's so big I think I can solve whatever you throw at me and make it even better. I enjoy the interaction and the challenge.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

I am just relating to the world we live in. I see some order in it, even though it looks like mush.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

It's not new that architectur...

It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone. It can for children - for anyone. It still does for me.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

Some cultures tried to stop p...

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 89 quotes

I used to read more when I wa...

I used to read more when I was a kid than I do now. It was all sort of fuel for the fire to teach you how to think and how to make things and it informed the architecture that I was doing. It's better coming in with that history and that kind of knowledge and depth of understanding of humanity that is very important for building buildings - for understanding people and how they should live and how you could make your lives better and stuff like that.

Frank Gehry 89 quotes

You never build the perfect b...

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.
