The Katrina matter was terrible.

Louisiana has got a very specific warmth and humidity and richness of light.

When you get into Louisiana, it really is like a different country in a lot of ways. The plants you see are a little different, like the weeping willows and the cypress trees that come up out of the bayou. And it's steamy hot.

I lived in Los Angeles in the '80s, which was not the best place to be.

I've always had an interest in Louisiana, especially New Orleans.

My great-grandchildren will not be able to enjoy the Gulf Coast of Louisiana the way I have.

I grew up in Louisiana - a little suburb right outside of New Orleans - and I wouldn't have it any other way!

When I get down to Louisiana, I get to have a taste of some of that great food.
