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.

Emotions are messy and hard to figure out.

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

Chris Cooper I got to work with many times.

You have to be involved and relate to the characters in order to make a film that is true emotionally.
