“The first time Taylor brought me to New Orleans all I could say was, ‘I’m going to die here.’ Like Venice. And that same decadent, romantic, slow sweetness comes over me every time I return. It’s one of the few places that’s not precious to the nth degree; it doesn’t look as though its history has been cleaned up by Disney. It’s funky and untidy. It’s my contact with Europe in America.” –Helen Mirren
