Frank Gehry Artist Quotations

The best advice I've received is to be yourself. The best artists do that.

One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Generally in our world, whether in architecture or almost anywhere else, we devalue the artist, and schools at whatever level shut people down.

Artists dismiss me as an architect, so I'm not in their box, and architects dismiss me as an artist, so I'm not in their box.

Those who say only artists and architects can create are the ones who are elitist.

Everybody's an artist. Unfortunately we don't treat them as such.

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

People ask me if I'm an artist or an architect. But I think they're the same.
