"I loved Maurice's (Sendak) books as a kid. When you love something and feel connected to it at that age, you're permanentlyconnected to it when you grow up. The motivation for the film was just loving what it stirred up in me, connecting to what I felt as a kid and wanting to make

a movie about childhood—or what childhood was to me."
