Kindness is an essential part of Gods work and ours here on earth.
At 14, I was playing in clubs until 3 A. M. My dad was the district attorney of New Orleans and my mother was a judge, so I saw hookers and drugs but I never wanted that life.
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.
Life is really like that: there are certain things that are wonderful and certain things that are not so wonderful and what you are going to do about it. With grace and with dignity, move through them. Deal with them.
New Orleans is my essence, my soul, my muse. . .
I never dated much. I dated one girl before my wife, and that was it.
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.
Our prayers and fastings are of less avail, unless they are aided by almsgiving.
I love the freedoms we got in this country, I appreciate your freedom to burn your flag if you want to, but I really appreciate my right to bear arms so I can shoot you if you try to burn mine.
It seems that fiction no longer produces work that makes one feel the human condition deeply.
Does it bother you, me being half naked all the time?
