Living through the heat in Louisiana was awful.

Louisiana in September was like an obscene phone call from nature. The air - moist, sultry, secretive, and far from fresh - felt as if it were being exhaled into one's face. Sometimes it even sounded like heavy breathing.

I think people live in the past and tend to look that way, because they drop off when they're happiest and most successful.

As a costume designer, I first try to figure out what the character's economic situation is and hit the stores they'd shop.

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

I was just a start-and-stop guy. I could never really follow through on anything that I started.
