To get a childs trust – you may know or not – is a very hard thing to do. Theyre so used to not believing adults – because adults tell tales and lies all the time. – Maurice Sendak
I hate those e-books. They can not be the future… they may well be… I will be dead. – Maurice Sendak
Most children – I know I did when I was a kid – fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They dont tell their real parents about that – you dont want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar. – Maurice Sendak
Ive convinced myself – I hope Im right – that children despair of you if you dont tell them the truth. – Maurice Sendak
I had this totally impossible dream of being an actress. Trust me, just because Im lucky enough to be doing this doesnt make any of this less of a pipe dream. And nothing gets my juices flowing like a really great performance. To see someone on stage, I get really excited. – Olivia Thirlby
