I ask people, 'Have you been to New Orleans? ... These are people who drove your carriage down Canal Street. They carried your bags to your hotel room and picked up the dishes when you finished eating. By golly, we're going to be there to take care of them now.

You see the pictures and you recognize everything. It's crazy. My parents and I have been watching CNN all week and you see Canal Street and Bourbon Street and think 'I walked those every day I was there.' We drove across the highways that are now under water.

New Orleans is in my blood; I immersed my whole soul into it. Seeing the destruction, looking at Canal Street and Bourbon Street, I wonder if it'll ever be the same. Some of my greatest memories are of times in that town.

[Yesterday the broken city was filled with the noise of Blackhawk and Chinook helicopters and its still partly flooded highways were filled with rescue crews in flat-bottomed boats, searching those sections of the city still believed to have people living in them.] The sounds of New Orleans were jazz, people laughing, people eating a good meal, ... And now the sounds of New Orleans are helicopters and army vehicles. This is almost surreal.

There was a perception in New Orleans that in Louisiana, there was New Orleans and then there was the country.
