You basically have to play everything (in New Orleans), because you're getting calls to play gigs of all different styles, from classical to R&B to funk; modern jazz to traditional jazz.

I've been all over the world. I love New York, I love Paris, San Francisco, so many places. But there's no place like New Orleans. It's got the best food. It's got the best music. It's got the best people. It's got the most fun stuff to do.

It is really rare to find someone you really, really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.

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

I'm gay, it's all a big scam. My kids don't even know who their mother is.

I like to jump some rope and swing kettle bells to get my blood pumping. It makes my voice sound better, and it clears my head.
