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.

I think that, in almost all human beings, there is buried a profound tribal instinct that makes us very susceptible to being aroused to patriotic fervour.

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

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.
