And to imagine that there is a kind of a secret, enclosed world where people behave one way, and there's a big overt world where people behave a different way, that's a mistake.

And for me, the secret world is simply a metaphor for the larger world in which we live, where we also deceive one another, we deceive ourselves, we make up little stories, we act life rather than live it, and so on.

So even within that seemingly estranged community there was a universality, which I believed I could exploit.

And it resonated with the public. People understood.

They wanted to have their lives translated in terms of conspiracy to quite some extent.

And that is still the relationship between man and the institutions he creates.
