Summary: "I still think the same way I thought as a child. I still worry. I'm still frightened... Nothing changes." - Maurice Sendak
In 2009 Newsweek's Andrew Romano and Ramin Seetodeh interviewed Sendak. They wrote a great article. But no one had ever heard the poignant conversation. Until now.
I really loved this piece. Sendak's artistic genius is well known, but hearing this philosophy was new to me. His keen and respectful insight into the difficulties of childhood: the fear, fragility, resilience, and sadness of growing up. This piece made me appreciate Sendak even more than I did before. Beautiful work.
