I've been in some beautiful places, but the prettiest sight is flying back to New Orleans. Being able to look down and say, 'I know where I am now.'

I really like listening to music in my car.

I was very surprised when I heard that I had been chosen to receive the James Cardinal Gibbons Award.

My friends and I were wild and we liked to joy-ride.

It's a thanksgiving to God. It's something I have wanted to do for a long time, but the record company wasn't ready for it. So I did it myself.

At dances when I was a little kid, Art would be up there singing while I'd be dancing with some girl a foot taller than me.

My voice belongs to me, from God. People will comment, "Your voice helped me through." Maybe it’s God in me, because I don’t take credit for that.
