From Their Earliest Years Children Live On Familiar Terms With Disrupting Emotions, Fear And Anxiety Are An Intrinsic Part Of Their Everyday Lives, They Continually Cope With Frustrations As Best They Can. And It Is Through Fantasy That Children Achieve Catharsis. It Is The Best Means They Have For Taming Wild Things.

I Was A Very Sickly Child. My Parents Were Immigrants. They Were Not Decorous. They Were Not Discreet. They Always Thought I Was Gonna Die.

I Had Lost My Sister Recently, Too, Which Meant That My Whole Family Was Gone. I Was The Baby Of The Family. There Were Five Sendaks And There Were Five Wild Things, And Now There's Only One Sendak, And He's About To Bite The Dust, Too! Life, As I Said Before, Was Very Difficult At That Time And So It Was Natural That There Would Be A Change In The Look Of Things. Also, I Was Very Impressed With My Own Strength In Doing This Under The Circumstances In Which I Was Living.

You Can't Get Rid Of Evil. We Can't, And I Feel That So Intensely.

That's What Art Is. You Don't Make Up Stories. You Live Your Life.
