Maurice Sendak at 83: A portrait of the author as a cranky old man

Sep 25 -

Meta:

“I mean, it’s great to have a successful book. I’m not so dumb as to not know that is a good thing. But that is not the thing, and that’s why this is a good time. Because the important things – what were considered important to me – are no longer important. They’re not shame-faced, they’re not bad. They’re just not what interests me any more.” This may be one of my favourite interviews ever. Above: perhaps the only serious, non-hilarious and/or cranky thing he said. Delightful.
