Farewell Maurice Sendak

"My big concern is me and what I do now until the time of my death. That is valid. That is useful. That is beautiful. That is creative. I want to be free again. I want to be free like when I was a kid. Where we just had fun. I've had my career. I've had my success. I want to see me to the end working, living for myself. Ripeness is all. Now, interpreting what ripeness is is our own individual problem. So, what is the point of it all? Not leaving legacies. But being ripe. Being ripe."
