More From Maurice Sendak
- "I became a set designer for opera. I’m a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out."
- "I’d like to believe an accumulation of experience has made me a sort of a grown-up person, so I can have judgment and taste and whatever."
- "I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and I’m dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. They’re nowhere. I know they’re nowhere and they don’t exist, but if nowhere means that’s where they are, that’s where I want to be."
