  Frank
Gehry
“From the beginning of my adult life, I always related more to artists than to architects. I found it easier and more exciting to be with them. When I was studying at USC, art and architecture were taught in the same building…I kept trying to bring the two groups together…So I lived this kind of double life while I was in architecture school. Which I guess is what I continue to do.”
