That other saying, I'm a part of all that I have met, I think that would have to begin with my wonderful parents back in Atlanta when I was a youngster five years old I was tongue tied.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've come to realize how much it really was a part of my upbringing, the Georgia part. We were away from town. It was just dirt and trees and spouses. And a lot of kids - my cousins, who were all like brothers and sisters to me - just a lot of kids at one time.
I am a part of all that I have met.
I got to meet some of the best people I've ever met, and we all grew as people and as entertainers.
I grew up in a great family.
My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.
I grew up in the suburbs north of Atlanta. I had an amazing childhood, and I still go back to my home in Atlanta often.
And I come here as a daughter, raised on the South Side of Chicago - by a father who was a blue-collar city worker and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.
I was one of six kids; my grandmother lived with us. We had an aunt who used to have nerves, and all her kids would turn up and live with us.
But I was the most unashamed lone parent you were ever going to meet.
I was a kid who did a kid show. Then I went away and raised my child, and the world has never met me as an adult.
