A great Tate Short from Maurice Sendak, writer, illustrator and genius behind 'Where The Wild Things Are'. He's like the inappropriate grandpa we all wish we had. So many great quotes in such a short film.
Artists have to take a dive, and either you hit your head on a rock and you split your skull and you die. Or that blow to the head is so inspiring that you come up and do the best work that you ever did. But you have to take the dive, and you do not know what the results will be.

My work has always been considered inappropriate; but the ones that I love - the ones that I think work as works of art are inappropriate.
