Besides the alternate universe offered by a book, the quiet space of a museum was my favorite place to go.

Now with Facebook and MySpace and 24/7 online access, that imaginary audience has become real.
I had the idea that there were two worlds. There was a real world as I called it, a world of wars and boxing clubs and children'shomes on back streets, and this real world was a world where orphans burned orphans.... I liked the other world in which almost everyone lived. The imaginary world.
