Author Maurice Sendak wrote, “Where the Wild Things Are.” He can’t stand Gwyneth Paltrow.

In an interview with the Guardian, Sendak rants about everything from e-books, Rupert Murdoch, to himself — “I have to accept my role. I will never kill myself like Vincent Van Gogh. Nor will I paint beautiful water lilies like Monet. I can’t do that. I’m in the idiot role of being a kiddie book person.”

E-books: “I hate them. It’s like making believe there’s another kind of sex. There isn’t another kind of sex. There isn’t another kind of book! A book is a book is a book.”

New York: “You get pushed and harassed and people grope you. It’s too tumultuous, it’s too crazy!”

Rupert Murdoch: “His name should be what everything is called now.” But he publishes you! “Yes! Harpers. He owns Harpers and I guess the rest of the world, too. He represents how bad things have become. But I don’t know a better house. They’re all in trouble. They’re all terrible.”

American politics: “These Republican schnooks would be comical if they weren’t not funny.”

Salman Rushdie: “That flaccid [BLEEP]. He was detestable. I called up the Ayatollah, nobody knows that.”

Roald Dahl: “The cruelty in his books is off-putting. Scary guy. I know he’s very popular but what’s nice about this guy? He’s dead, that’s what’s nice about him.”

Stephen King: “Bullsh#t.”

Gwyneth Paltrow: “I can’t stand her.”

Don’t feel bad Gwyneth … at least you’re not “bullsh#t.”
