You got to have a purpose, have a vision.

I was very fortunate that I stumble under my vision.

I mean, as you know, I was born in 1947 in Austria after the Second World War.

And I didn't really like Austria when I grew up.

I couldn't wait to get out of there.

I couldn't see myself becoming a farmer

or a worker in a factory or anything like that.

Even though my parents wanted me to stay there and have a normal life.

My father wanted me to become a police officer like he was.

My mother wanted me just to stay there and marry a girl with the name of Heidi, hopefully,

and have a bunch of kids and run around like the Van Trapp family in the sound of music.

But that was their vision, not mine.

My vision was totally different. I felt that I was born

for something special, for something unique, for something big. Then one day I went to school,

I remember I was 11 years old, and they showed a documentary about America. And there they

showed in this documentary, the huge skyscrapers,

the high rises, the huge bridges, the six-lane freeways, the huge cars with the wings sticking

out, and all of this stuff in the same myself, that's where I want to be.

I don't want to be around here with these little farmhouses and these little buildings

and everything is old.

I want to be in America.

One day after school I walked by a store in Graz, which was called Brul.
