Americans are notoriously ill-equipped for self-reflection. We're usually a very boisterous, outward-moving bunch of people, but we don't understand that much about ourselves or how other people perceive us.

Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves.

One of the things that's unique about Louisiana politics is that people here have a much more realistic attitude about who their politicians are. They know they are human and not saints or Mormons or Eagle Scouts.

I'm very much about letting other people shine, because it makes us all shine brighter.

I don't care about how much other actors get.

Dear Internet: You are very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder to come by.
