I think at the age of 50, everyone should write their own autobiography.

I was born with a crippled leg. I wore a corrective shoes since I was three years old and I still wear them.

When I was younger, I ate nothing but fried food. Everything was fried, from oysters to chicken to potatoes to vegetables. When you die in New Orleans, they deep fry you before they put you in the coffin. When we baptize children in New Orleans, we baptize them with a bordelaise sauce; we don't use water.

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.

If I've got the right songs, I can weave a spell over everyone.

People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.

Energy is that amazing feeling that comes to life inside of you when you're happy and believe in yourself.
