Maurice Sendak

I was tempted to not watch Stephen Colbert interview children’s book author Maurice Sendak, thinking it would not be interesting. I was wrong. Sendak turns out to be a funny and feisty guy, one of the few who can match wits with Colbert.

    “Why do you write for children?” “I don’t write for children. I write!”

    “What do you think.” “The sad thing is that I like it.”

    “I hate e-books! They can’t be the future. They may well be, but I will be dead and I don’t give a sh*t!”

    Adorable old guy.

    Maurice Sendak qualifies as not only “feisty” but “fierce”. He was my absolute favorite when I was a little kid, and I’ve yet to see anything to change my mind — quite the contrary, in fact.
