I had a couple of friends, but I was mostly the kid with his nose in a book.
I just liked the feeling of being on stage.
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.
Her failure was a useful preliminary to success.
She's always looking for poetry and passion and sensitivity, the whole Romantic kitchen. I live on a rather simpler diet. ' 'Prose and pudding?''I don't expect attractive men necessarily to have attractive souls.
As Christians we are here to affirm the supreme value of direct sharing, of immediate encounter -not machine to machine, but person to person, face to face.
I went to an all-boys school and hated feeling like one of the crowd.
