"Protect Me From What I Want"

Somebody the other day was asking about U of T and what the ultimate goal for me was. I thought about it for a second and said "I want to have my fingers in all the pies". They laughed and assumed I wanted to just be a big famous architect. I knew at the time this was what they thought and I didn't bother to correct them. I do feel that I should explain to all of those that are curious as to what my goals really are. I want to be able to do everything that I want. It's that simple. There are certain designers and companies working internationally like Phillipe Starck, LOT/EK, Tobias Wong [the coolest], and Shigeru Ban that I look up to and admire. They're all totally different and are doing some of the coolest stuff out there.
I guess I just don't want to be limited. I want to design teapots and chairs and light fixtures and houses for the super rich and public buildings and art works and social housing for the third world and...... everything. So everyone, that is the goal.
