I'm going to get my sister, who just started school there. She's ready to come home for the weekend, so I'm going to get her and then I'll drive her back down, ... I'm really not concerned with gas prices. My main concern is the traffic and being safe.

It reminded me too much of the Superdome. I knew it was where I didn't want to be.

That's how special this place is, ... Through divorce and all, we're still coming here.

We witnessed people getting killed, getting raped ---- little kids getting raped.

I never thought (the storm) would be that bad, ... We've had winds that bad, but once I saw the water rising, I knew it was time to go.

We had to stand in line from here to Long Beach to get food. That's how long the line was.

No one can comprehend the loss here unless they've been up here. This is a mystical place.

I've had people say it's your mid-life crisis tattoo. I don't think so, but if it is, it's a pretty harmless one. I just like them. They're not on there for anyone else, but more it's something that's there for me.

I was pleasantly surprised how much it didn't hurt.
