Oh, I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness. You went to the movies then, you saw two movies and a short. When Mickey Mouse came on the screen and there was his big head, my sister said she had to hold onto me. I went berserk. – Maurice Sendak
Id 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. – Maurice Sendak
