“I take my kids to the California Academy of Sciences. I ran that project when it was first built. They love going there and being able to tell people that “my daddy painted this.” To see the pride and joy in their eyes…that they were almost a part of it.

"Một số người trong chúng tôi có nhiều DNA của người Neanderthal hơn những người khác. Bạn phải có khả năng thể hiện điều đó theo cách tốt nhất có thể. Tất cả chúng ta đều có cảm giác sáng tạo có thể được thể hiện và đó là tìm ra cách đó để thể hiện sự sáng tạo đó. Một số người họ có thể làm điều đó đằng sau một chiếc máy tính, những người khác thật tuyệt khi có thể xây dựng một tòa nhà. Tất cả đều xuất hiện trong cảm giác tồn tại của bất cứ điều gì khiến bạn cảm thấy sống động. Robert Williams III, Đại diện Kinh doanh, Liên minh Họa sĩ Quốc tế và Hội đồng Quận Thương mại Đồng minh 16, Bắc California
