Maurice Sendak is proof to me that you can love someone you will never meet.

"I don't understand him... I don't know what the hell he's talking about... But I love him" And I love his acceptance of something he doesn't quite understand.

"My work has always been considered inappropriate; but the ones that I love - the ones that I think work as works of art... - are inappropriate." Great profile of Maurice Sendak, writer/illustrator.

"Why didn't you do a Wild Things 2?" "Go to Hell." Brilliant.

@quetzalatecca5133 6 лет назад

Is anybody else here because "Where The Wild Things Are" was a staple of their childhood, and now want to write themselves? I couldn't believe that the book was actually authored. I assumed that it just produced itself, miraculously, for the benefit of children.

@jennyhughes4474 4 года назад

Here because I bought it for my son when he was small and we loved it.

@BearFattfilm Год назад

I don’t remember but my mother says I loved it. I’m here because of the film and I want to be a filmmaker. It’s funny he says “go to hell” in this because both he and Spike Jonze shared a vision for the film adaptation that was “scary and too dark or adult” for children according to executives. “Go to hell” was his response, and Spike Jonze said he wasn’t making a children’s film but a film about childhood.

William Blake was a wonderful artist and a great poet. Sendak was one of the greatest illustrators of childrens books, falling short of only Arthur Rackham in my estimation. I’m sorry he suffered so much-Blake can be reached only through his art and his poetry-but Sendak brought great joy to many millions, and his was a life well lived!

@reneekeller 3 года назад

"Artists have to take a dive, and either you hit your head on a rock and you split your skull and you die... OR... that blow to the head is so inspiring that you come up and do the best work that you ever did... BUT... you have to take the dive, and you do not know what the results will be."

@judywong1433 12 лет назад

Honestly, my feelings about art and Maurice has become more intellectual, as I realize his work. HIs Illustrations In the Night Kitchen, Where the WIld Things Are, Brundibar and Outside Over There, have made me feel more comfortable about the direction of where my artwork may take me. These videos are gifts to learn by, a place to understand the values of history, art history and immagination.I had shed a few tears at first, and sharing his life in his home has brought me closer to this feeling.

@greyforge27 12 лет назад

It's almost strange how sharp he is in so many ways - especially at that age.

@LovingBritishAccent 12 лет назад

Nowadays, children have access to all sorts of entertainment. They watch various cartoons and listen to audio storybooks. It would be splendid if we came back to the roots: sit with a book and a cup of hot chocolate in front of a fireplace. Touch the faded paper and feel its smell... Then read the book to our little niece or nephew and see their smile while we act our roles. With no doubt he is a very talented illustrator and a colourful figure.

@patrickmanway290 Год назад

Comic books are a great example of this.

@edwardsholty7959 Год назад

"...fell in love with the German romantics...." Loves (but doesn't understand) Blake. "Sequel? Go to hell" "Outside Over there", his favorite work.

@viewerlikeyouare 12 лет назад

I don't remember liking Where The Wild Things Are as a kid. Probably because I thought it was dark and scary. But I love it now. I appreciate the art and the story so much more! I thought--for a little while--what a shame it is that I didn't like his work more as a child! But what is a children's book anyway? He said he never wrote a children's book. So there must not be an age limit on art. I wonder why I was afraid of so much beauty when I was a child.

@highenergy6273 5 лет назад

In a way, he answered his own question, " how do you set out to write a children's book?" (1:23) at 3:14: "I just lived in Brooklyn where everything was ordinary, and yet enticing and exciting and bewildering. The magic of childhood, is the strangeness of childhood. The uniqueness that makes us see things that other people don’t see." He tapped into the ability for children's imaginations and curiosity to embellish and expand the extraordinary nature of the world, no matter how banal it may sometimes seem to others.

@ierig an opinion without explanations, such as the brief one expressed here by you, isn't really a proper participation in the dialogue between human beings that makes our world civilised ... if you can't explain how you feel, then people will find it difficult to accept your opinions, or respect you for them

@rochellenorlund1990 3 года назад

To me, in my opinion, Where The Wild Things Are deserves a sequel someday, because I bet a sequel could be a special dedication to Maurice Sendak & James Gandolfini to honor them both in their memories. www.change.org/p/warner-brothers-to-hope-for-a-sequel-to-where-the-wild-things-are-movie

@soularwave 3 года назад

He didn't say those words aloud, that's just what he felt internally when he was asked that question.

@everynewdayisablessing8509 3 года назад

He was extreme and a bit rude in some interviews. He was quite bitter, I noticed. His stories didn't end badly but at the same time he didn't write typical "happy stories." They were quite dark, most of them. In one of them there is a man pointing a gun at the child.This book wouldn't be published today. And writing sequels is not easy, and it wouldn't be to write a sequel to such a book. I think he did well to refuse. I only wish he used this style of illustrating for other books, but that was his right to do what he wanted to do.
