Author of quotes: Anthony Byatt

The illusion is a complicated thing, and the crowd - not an easy thing. Both need to collect from naughty parts in a homogeneous, unified whole. The world inside the box, made of silk, satin, porcelain, castings, wires, hinges, painted backdrops, moving lights and musical notes, must come alive, to acquire its own traffic laws, its own rules, which the story develops. And the audience round with greedy eyes, broken and arrogant, consumed by thoughts about something else, alsaudia clamped - should be merged together, like a joint pop-eyed fish needs, flickering fins, to merge, to rush here or there, in obedience to hunger, fear or joy.
