I don't know why people are so keen to put the details of their private life in public; they forget that invisibility is a superpower.

...because it is the privilige and the curse of midnight's children to be both masters and victims of their times, to forsake privacy and be sucked into the annihilating whirlpool of the multitudes, and to be unable to live or die in peace.

The girl is not selling her private life, but her image,

The Internet made fame wack and anonymity cool.

I’m doing the absolute opposite of giving myself away. As far as I’m concerned, I’ll be completely visible. If the painting sells, I’ll be in Paris, hanging on a wall. If anything, I’m being selfish. It’s perfect; all the freedom of creation, with none of the fuss.

Human beings are not meant to lose their anonymity and privacy.
