When I was 14 years old I had a small table, like a draughting board, in the basement of my parent's house. It was a little damp down there but it was okay because it was... no one bothered me and I would make little model boats and model aeroplanes, that's, you know, that's what 14-year-olds did, and talking about books, I read Frank Lloyd Wright's books when I was 14 years old and I remember looking at House Beautiful at Frank Lloyd Wright houses and trying to, you know, make a little model from the magazine article. And at that time, there weren't so many magazines and those that one got, you sort of, really looked at carefully. And I remember that I thought this was... it was one of the prairie houses of Frank Lloyd Wright's... I thought this was amazing. And my parents were very social people and they always had people over for dinner. Their friends came to dinner quite often and I remember they always used to ask me, you know: 'What are you going to do when you grow up?' At a certain point you can't just say: 'I don't know'. You'd sound dumb, so I said: 'I am going to be an architect'. They said: 'What?' 'I'm going to be an architect'. Well, they didn't know any architects and I said... so as it went on, and I kept saying it, you know, at 14 and 15, I never questioned it. I never thought about anything else. I said that's what I want to do, that's what I'm going to do. I thought, boy, was I lucky... was I lucky to be able at that time to say this is what I want to do and do it.
