Daisy Egan: 我认为艺术天赋可能比我们想象的更普遍，如果我们更重视艺术，更多人就能更早发现并培养自己的艺术才能。我的成功离不开父母的鼓励和一些运气，但康妮·康弗斯没有那么幸运，她没有得到应有的支持和机会。 Phil Converse: 我可以证明康妮对艺术有着天生的热爱，除了舞蹈。她不喜欢她的名字伊丽莎白，她是一个天才和博学家。我对康妮的钦佩是有客观价值的，姐姐在某种意义上抚养了我。父母对我们都很好，但是姐姐对我心理上的影响更大。 Howard Fishman: 我通过研究发现，康妮在业余时间创作诗歌、绘画、画漫画、旅行和自学吉他。她和弟弟菲尔保持通信，他们的通信就像梵高和他弟弟之间的信件，互相鼓励和支持。 Cord Jefferson: 我通过研究发现，康妮将她最喜欢的诗歌谱成曲，创作情歌，并涉足女权主义赞歌。她的歌曲情感丰富，甚至有些叛逆，而且在歌曲中表达了她在现实生活中难以表达的性。
