I'm actually Cuban-born, born in 1956, the year Fidel Castro came into power, and my father moved my family to Miami a few years later when things were starting to look bad.

I was born in Cuba, and my parents were tropical agronomists.

I was raised in New York and then moved to Miami in my teenage years, returning to New York later on.

I was born in New Jersey but grew up mostly in Florida. My dad died when I was 8.

I was born in New York City. But my family moved when I was still an infant. Except for a year and half when we lived in Youngstown, Ohio, I grew up in small towns in Pennsylvania. I graduated from high school in Farrell, Pennsylvania.

Both of my parents were born into poor families on the island of Cuba. They came to America because it was the only place where people like them could have a chance.

I was born in New Jersey, but it doesn't sound like I'm from a certain region.
