"I’m still as enamored and turned on by work as I was when I was young." ― Maurice Sendak Topic(s): Work More From Maurice Sendak "I did not know how to paint a mural. I did not know how to prepare the surface. There was nobody from the Renaissance around who could advise me, and I did the best I could." "I became a set designer for opera. I’m a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out." "I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness."
