I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.

Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.

Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.

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

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.

Everyone in this world is somehow connected. So why not just be nice to everybody.

I spent my childhood eating. The only exercise I got was trying to twist off the cap of a jar of mayonnaise.
