The big dramas that fascinate me are the quiet ones that happen behind closed doors in so-called ordinary families.

Behind closed doors, I'm a crafty person.

I almost died, secretly, behind closed doors.

You can't negotiate in public. People won't make concessions in public. They will do that in private. Like sausage making, you have to do it behind closed doors.
