This town was just so important to him. Newman was the quiet person in the background, always doing what he believed was right.

We will go on with the gallery. Our first show will prominently feature Newman's work.

Newman was a healer. He spent the last two months struggling with how to heal St. Albans. He was such a genuine, good, honest person.

To hold this meeting, days before voting and the town meeting, is a slap in the face to the people of St. Albans. This is not a black and white issue. This is an issue of process and the trust of the people.

I just want to say, if you're going crazy, take a break. I felt overwhelmed by stuff that wasn't satisfying me, things I was supposed to do for my career. I stopped and said, 'Let me get back to the basics.'

Your sanity is harder to get back than money or contacts. You are the magic. You are the art. You can't lose that.
