Maurice Sendak

I am not a religious person, nor do I have any regrets.

My being gay was something of not great interest to me.

I had a brother who was my savior, made my childhood bearable.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.

Jasmine, the name of which signifies fragrance, is the emblem of delicacy and elegance. It is reared with difficulty in New England, but at the South, puts forth all its graces.
