The fact that Maurice Sendak said, "This is something that I made at your age, this was something that was personal to me, and now you need to take it and make something that's personal to you." I don't know, but we made the Where The Wild Things Are movie that we set out to make, and Maurice loves it. If Maurice was anxious about it, then I would be petrified.

You make a movie that is about what you want it to be about and let people have their reaction to it.

I feel like you only have so much time to make stuff. I'm definitely aware of that. I'm also excited about it.

If I can make one generalised statement, and generalised statements are never entirely true, nobody wants to be talked down to, kids included.

Doing a documentary is about discovering, being open, learning, and following curiosity.

I just want to make whatever is exciting.
