Frank Gehry Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

Most of our cities built since the war are bland. They’re modernist, they’re cold, and now architects want to go back to that Picture Quote #1

There is a backlash against me and everyone who has done buildings that have movement and feeling Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, my father didn’t really have much hope for me. He thought I was a dreamer; he didn’t think I would amount to anything. My mother also Picture Quote #1

Each project, I suffer like I’m starting over again in life. There’s a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff Picture Quote #1

I can’t just decide myself what’s being built. Someone decides what they want, then I work for them Picture Quote #1

I refuse to work unless I get paid, so I don’t get a lot of work sometimes Picture Quote #1

I would like to make a building as intellectually driven as it is sculptural and as positive as it would be acceptable to hope Picture Quote #1

If I knew where I was going, I wouldn’t do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don’t do it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings Picture Quote #1

I make a model of the site. There are some obvious things: where the entrance should be, where the cars have to go in. You start to get the scale of it. You understand the client’s needs, and what the client is hoping for and yearning for Picture Quote #1

On certain projects, on big public projects, people definitely are interested in making them greener, but on smaller projects with tight budgets it can be harder Picture Quote #1

The game is if the orchestra can hear each other, they play better. If they play better and there’s a tangible feeling between the orchestra and the audience, if they feel each other, the audience responds and the orchestra feels it Picture Quote #1

Outside of advertising, the person who’s influenced me most is quite possibly Frank Gehry Picture Quote #1

Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It’s crucial to an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it? I think I learned that from the artists, from my grandmother, from all the creative people I’ve spent time with over the years Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Man, there’s another freedom out there, and it comes from somewhere else, and that somewhere else is the place I’m interested in Picture Quote #1

The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself. I tell this to my students: It’s not about copying me or my logic systems. It’s about allowing yourself to be yourself Picture Quote #1

The best advice I’ve received is to be yourself. The best artists do that Picture Quote #1

I know I draw without taking my pen off the page. I just keep going, and that my drawings I think of them as scribbles. I don’t think they mean anything to anybody except to me, and then at the end of the day, the end of the project, they wheel out these little drawings and they’re damn close to what the finished building is and it’s the drawing Picture Quote #1

I am obsessed with architecture. It is true, I am restless, trying to find myself as an architect and how best to contribute in this world filled with contradiction, disparity and inequality, even passion and opportunity Picture Quote #1

Take what comes your way. Do the best with it. Be responsible as you can and something good will happen Picture Quote #1

Not every person has the same kinds of talents, so you discover what yours are and work with them Picture Quote #1

Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It’s about making the world a better place and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it Picture Quote #1

There is stuff I would have liked to have done. But there are no sour grapes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The whole can be greater than the sum of it’s parts, that we all have something to put in the pie to make it better, and that the collaborative interaction works Picture Quote #1
