A Quote by Maurice Sendak

Life has only gotten better personally for me as I've gotten older. I mean, being young was such a gross waste of time. I was just such a miserable, miserable person.
Let me just say, as I've gotten older, the parts have gotten better.
God has spoken to me differently through my life, and it has gotten better as I've gotten older. I don't know if that's my reception or his maturing.
If only my folks had beaten me, I could have gotten some material about my miserable childhood. But as it is, I've had a great life.
For me, I've gotten better at that since I've gotten older. I never was good at that when I was younger.
I feel that life is divided into the horrible and the miserable. That's the two categories. The horrible are like, I don't know, terminal cases, you know, and blind people, crippled. I don't know how they get through life. It's amazing to me. And the miserable is everyone else. So you should be thankful that you're miserable, because that's very lucky, to be miserable.
One of the problems with computers, particularly for the older people, is they were befuddled by them, and the computers have gotten better. They have gotten easier to use. They have gotten less expensive. The software interfaces have made things a lot more accessible.

I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
But there were times when you felt miserable and you wanted to feel better, and other times when you felt miserable and you figured you would just keep on feeling miserable.
I have a discipline that has served me very well in my career and in my personal life... and that's gotten stronger as I've gotten older. I've always felt if I don't just have a natural knack for it, I will just out-discipline the competition if I have to -- work harder than anybody else.

As I've gotten older, I have gotten a lot better at finding the pleasures of making music despite the business of it.
I've gotten incredibly lucky with the people I've gotten to work with. It's made my mind better, and it's made me a better person.
The artist must be like that Marine. He has to know how to be miserable. He has to love being miserable. He has to take pride in being more miserable than any soldier or swabbie or jet jockey. Because this is war, baby. And war is hell.
I feel like I've always had a sordid sense of humor, and it's only gotten more twisted as I've gotten older.
The good news is at this point as I get older, the load has gotten heavier but my shoulders have gotten wider because I've gotten happier so it's a damn good thing.
