A Paragraph to Ponder

From the New Yorker (September 10, 2012 - High Rise) and a profile of famed Danish architect Bjarke Ingels:

"Ambitious New York architects in their thirties or forties, waiting to become famous, comfort themselves with the thought that fame comes later to architects than to people who launch Web sites, design dresses, or make horror movies.  Construction is slow and costly, and you can't do it on your own.  You can't, at twenty, borrow money on a credit card, work through your weekends, and end up with an airport terminal."
