Joseph Harry Fowler Connick Jr. Quotes

• …my mother, I knew until I was 13. She died when I was 13. She was from New York, a Jewish background, and met my dad when they were working for the government in Morocco. And they got married in 1953, moved back to New Orleans. My dad was from Mobile, Alabama, and then grew up in New Orleans. So they came back to New Orleans. They both were lawyers. And they had a record store in the ’50s, about 10 years before I was born, to sort of make money to put themselves through law school. And by the time I came around in ’67, they were both practicing law. And my mom and I were super tight. I think she really wanted me to be an artist, you know? She used to like to tell people she wanted to be Beethoven’s mother. That was her thing. She wanted to be the mother of this person. And my dad, although he was very busy politically, always found the time to support me, to set the right example for me and [my older sister].
• [on researching his role for ‘Dolphin Tale’] I was just blown away by the humanity of these people. I did some research and found out about what these marine biologists go through, and it’s deep, man. One veterinarian I talked to said to me, ‘Yeah, if that dolphin were brought here to me, I would have euthanized it ’cause there’s a million out there, and we need that money for endangered animals’. It’s a pretty hard decision to make. When you have a limited amount of money, do you spend all of it on developing a prosthetic for an animal that is not endangered?
• I had an old man moment the other day. I went into Abercrombie & Fitch to get some jeans and the music was so loud I couldn’t stay.
