# The Great Artist Survives Inside the Work by Robert Ford > “I told him of a holiday my family had taken once, out on the seaside at Pendeen in Cornwall. My brother and I roamed the countryside. It’s my only happy memory of my childhood. Arnold built them as a gift.

That’s why I didn’t have the heart to destroy them. I told him of a holiday my family had taken once, out on the seaside at Pendeen in Cornwall. My brother and I roamed the countryside. It’s my only happy memory of my childhood. Arnold built them as a gift. He said that great artists always hid themselves in their work.” — Robert Ford, Westworld, Season 1, Episode 6, “The Adversary” (2016) https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-robert-ford-great-artist-survives-inside-work
