[ Brancusi ] has had more influence on my work than most architects. - Frank Gehry

I think my best skill as an architect is the achievement of hand-to-eye coordination. I am able to transfer a sketch into a model into the building.

Life is chaotic, dangerous, and surprising. Buildings should reflect that.

I get that a lot because I've hung around with a lot of artists and I'm very close to a lot of them. I'm very involved in their work; I think a lot of my ideas have grown out of it, and that there's been some give and take.
