I came from a very poor background. I came from children's homes; I came from a violent family, and against all the odds, I succeeded.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I come from the slums; I come from a hard background; I come from a poor family; and I was a soldier.
I come from a poor family.
I grew up in a very large, poor family.
My father came from a very poor background, but I was very fortunate in the sense that we were never in need. My dad was determined to make sure that we didn't want for things. He wanted to give us more opportunity than he had, a better shot at a better life.
I came from a very normal, un-Hollywood background. My parents provided me with every sort of normal upbringing that they could.
I came from a lower-middle-class postwar family in a time of austerity and retrenchment, with no one in the family who was in any way artistic or a potential mentor to a budding writer, and yet this is what I became.
I'm the result of upbringing, class, race, gender, social prejudices, and economics. So I'm a victim again. A result.
I was born in a poor family, a lower middle class family. My father was a clerk in the forest department. I was very bad at studies. I was not very good at sports, also.
I came from a middle-class family. My dad was a professor; my mom was a nurse. I didn't come from money, and I didn't come from circles of power. I didn't come from the country club; I came from the town park.
I came from nothing. I came from the projects and welfare and ended up a millionaire with no frame of reference. I was bound to hit a wall sooner or later.
