Here are a few of Wright’s comments<\/strong> about meeting Sly<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

“I was surprised. I thought he would be this ego-driven monster, but that wasn’t the case at all,” Wright said. “He was very humble and seemed to be embarrassed by all the publicity.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“He asked how much the painting was and I told him and he was shocked and said, ‘That’s all?… I thought, you know, I could charge him $8,000 instead [of $800], but I’m not going to cheat someone just because they’re a celebrity.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
