If you're born and raised in New Orleans, you don't fit anywhere else. Nothing against any other city, but it's just a way of life, a culture, that's so unique.

Sen. Dole can avoid this fight if he simply stands up and says, 'Listen, I ran as a pro-life candidate. I'm committed to Ronald Reagan's plank in that platform.

I think there were a few things that really interested me. One was that I didn't know a lot about hooligan culture. I'd heard of football violence but I didn't quite understand how intense it really is, how organized it is, and more importantly, how these people aren't necessarily criminals or thugs in their daily life. They almost have this sort of double life. They're people with families and some of them have relatively good jobs. That fascinated me. And also the opportunity of being able to take a character from that kind of relatively innocent place to essentially making him a hooligan was very attractive to me. To explore a darker side of humanity that I'd not really explored in film before just as an actor was an interesting challenge.

Piety and fear,
Religion to the gods, peace, justice, truth,
Domestic awe, night-rest, and neighbourhood,
Instruction, manners, mysteries, and trades,
Degrees, observances, customs and laws,
Decline to your confounding contraries
And let confusion live.
I think that's because believable action is based on authenticity, and accuracy is very important to me. I always spend time researching my novels, exploring the customs and attitudes of the county I'm using for their setting.
The food, the jazz culture, the lovely ladies I miss everything about New Orleans.
The National Western is a symbol of our culture, perhaps a gaudy expression of who we are in our wildest dreams. Raising awareness of our culture is the primary value of the National Western.

I grew up in a very different world than today's, though things are similar. On one hand, it was something normal to go to Church.

embracing Ray because they saw he occupied a beautiful quasi place - not of the L.A. art world but in tune with it - and because he was also more truly L.A. than almost anyone, I mean in terms of beach culture, lower-middle-class white culture. Most artists here come from elsewhere. Ray is the real McCoy.
