"I'm an architect, so I don't presume to make sculpture. The lines between architecture and sculpture in today's world have become very defined. So I don't want to argue with anybody about what's what. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, finally. You call it what you want."

13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Frank Gehry, architect:
"Once we talked about the double skin, the glass and 'iceberg', I liked the idea of a living facade that changed, not only with light and everything, because of the glass and the shadows, but also the ability to actually light it differently and have fun with it, and actually invite artists to participate in the facade."
