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 have to accept my role. I will never kill myself like Vincent Van Gogh. Nor will I paint beautiful water lilies like Monet. I can't do that. I'm in the idiot role of being a kiddie book person.

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

Action is the antidote to despair.

I am convinced that the reason so many fans leave Dodger Stadium after the seventh inning is that they become bored.
