Maurice Sendak to Stephen Colbert. “I don’t write for children. I write. And somebody says “that’s for children.”

On celebrity-penned children’s books: “All you need to do is get a popular illustrator who has a horrible sense of design, no taste for type, nothing about the aesthetics of what a picture book could look like, and you could probably make a lot of money.”

On ebooks: “Fuck them is what I say, I hate those ebooks.  They can not be the future… they may well be.  I will be dead.  I won’t give a shit!”
