Being someone who had had a very difficult childhood, a very difficult adolescence - it had to do with not quite poverty, but close. It had to do with being brought up in a family where no one spoke English, no one could read or write English. It had to do with death and disease and lots of other things. I was a little prone to depression.

If I have an unusual gift, it's not that I draw particularly better than other people - I've never fooled myself about that.

Happily an essential part of myself - my dreaming life - still lives in the light of childhood.

Maurice Sendak

My childhood was great, honestly. I have all these incredible memories of my childhood. I was an only child. I always had all my cousins around. I had my grandparents around. I had my parents around. I had my uncles around - whatever.
