I was born in Long Branch, New Jersey, and no one had ever taught anybody that young, back in those days.

I was born in New Jersey and lived there until I was about 10, so Jersey is in my roots.

I grew up in a broken home, working class. My paternal grandmother raised me and my brother; my father was with us, and my mother lived in Jersey.

I'm from the dirty depths of New Jersey.

New Jersey shaped who and what I am. Growing up in Jersey gave you all the advantages of New York, but you were in its shadow. Anyone who's come from here will tell you that same story.

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

Well, let's put in this way, I grew up in West New York, New Jersey.

I grew up in Minnesota.
