“I was talking about kids I knew and me.”
Maurice Sendak (1928–2012) American illustrator and writer of children's books
On Where the Wild Things Are
NOW interview (2004)
Context: I was talking about kids I knew and me. A book, an American book, where the child actually daunts his mother and threatens her.
No way. No way. And then on top of that, she puts him in a room and denies him food. No way. Mamas never do that kinda thing. Kids never get pissed at their parents. Unheard of. And the worst offense, he comes home. She leaves food for him. And he's not punished. Not punished.
“What kind of assholes bring a kid into worlds like these?”
