I'm an illustrator. I have to accept my role.
From Maurice Sendak
I have a good life.
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 don't have kids at all and I thank God that I never did.
I mean, being a child was being a child, was being a creature without power, without pocket money, without escape routes of any kind. So I didn't want to be a child.
The world is twice as crazy as it's ever been.
I do not remember any proper children's books in my childhood. I was not exposed to them.
All I wanted was to be straight so my parents could be happy. They never, never, never knew.
I refuse to lie to children.
In plain terms, a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There's a cruelty to childhood, there's an anger.
