One of the best moments Ive ever had in New Orleans is seeing Bourbon Street filled on a weekend night not long ago. Just watching the city breathe again.

You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about.

Candor is the only way I know how to do it. I'm way too old to change. At the end of the day, I believe the truth is stronger than any lie that's out there.

I just tell you, I'm not a big FEMA fan.

The rise of the Earth's temperature, causing sea level increases that could add up to one foot over the next 30 years, threatens the very existence of New Orleans.

The people of our city are holding on by a thread. Time has run out. Can we survive another night? And who can we depend on? Only God knows.

I think I did everything possible known to any mayor in the country as it relates to saving lives.

Excuse my French, everybody in America, but I am pissed.

I dont think that any person can fix FEMA. I think FEMA needs a total restructuring. I think it needs to be taken from scratch and redone. The regulations are outdated; the rules are outdated.

If we're unified, there's nothing we cannot do.

They're feeding the people a line of bull, and they are spinning and people are dying.

You can tuck your head under your wing for a while...and wait out this storm. But you will fly again.

I feel that I am a good actor.

It has been an amazing presidential election in 2016. AMAZING. And I don't take it for granted. This sort of race comes along once every century or so.

Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes.

You can lose a man like that by your own death, but not by his.

No one has ever learned fully to know themselves.

I sometimes think I was born to live up to my name. How could I be anything else but what I am having been named Madonna? I would either have ended up a nun or this.

I don't want to insert myself into the story. I just want to give a useful analysis of it to help people come to their own conclusions.

The order of nature [is] that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue.

Cuz I was never pretty anyway and never cared anything about that.
