Q: When did you first realize you could move invisibly?

Well, this was also a mental trick. I was reading Anais Nin one day and realized that what I loved about her was that she is an artist essentially discovered through references made by other people, that guide you to her work. This anonymity is a great asset, a cloak of invisibility, living in the binding of the pages. So it occurred to me that I could move about in a simlar way, having all the treasures of my creative life without being distracted by the public and paparazzi. I built on this concept over time, and now can walk right down the street unseen, especially after dark when everyone is asleep. -Stavo Craft

"In Paris in the '30s, literature was dedicated to war against the cliche, the obvious, the traditional, and the conventional. All energies were engaged in innovation. In France, we felt part of a pioneering group, but in America we found ourselves isolated and in the minority. Literature was for the masses. In America, the aim was not to be original, individualistic, an innovator, but to please the majority, to standardize, to submit to the major trends." -Anais Nin
