I used to go to Bourbon Street when I was a kid and there would be club after club after club of people who were around when the music started. I mean these are legendary, maybe not so well known, but legendary musicians.

Many people in and out of showbiz live their lives in different ways. I try to be the best I can be.

I don’t really get shaken very much. People could heckle me, a spotlight could go out, I could forget a lyric... I’m not operating on somebody’s brain, you know what I mean? So I just think it’s all funny.

New Orleans is a city of paradox. Sin, salvation, sex, sanctification, so intertwined yet so separate.

To be a good kisser start slow, definitely ramp into it and remember somebody's on the other side of your mouth!

I'm sure that there are reasonable people that had some reasonable projections about the future of New Orleans, but none of those could include not trying to rebuild the city and make it better than it was before.

You know, things kind of happen organically and, you know, Broadway sort of happened out of a career in performing and - which happened out of practicing piano when I was a kid.
