“I don't make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and ...” — Frank Gehry Quote

“I don't make things with my hands, although I studied woodworking and made furniture.”

“Each project, I suffer like I'm starting over again in life. There's a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.”

“Chicago's one of the rare places where architecture is more visible.”

“I've become obsessed with preserving Shaker furniture. I feel as though every influence in my life, everything I've learned and know, all the money I've made, has come together to take care of it.”

“I don't enjoy living in a white box flooded with light. I like shadows, small spaces, old furniture.”

“There's a real hunger to understand where objects come from, how artists show their understanding of materials. And there's something fascinating about watching people work, whether it's someone engraving a gun or sewing beautiful clothes together. I know that myself; I'll make a piece of furniture and feel the wood's grain talking to me.”
