It's where you come from that's the strange, exotic, quirky, mad place.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You live overseas, you see these exotic places and you want to know about them. But, weirdly, it also made me homesick for all these very prosaic places in America.
Sometimes I wonder where I am from. I am either way ahead or I come from another world. I don't recognise this world.
A place makes a deep impression on you when you're young. It lives with you. It's like your childhood. It fertilises the imagination.
I come from a pretty strange family.
The place where you're from defines who you are. You put yourself in the wrong situation, the wrong things happen.
Once you get away from where you're from, you look at it in a different way.
More and more I understand that it's very fine not to know where you come from.
There's a lot of crazy, weird people out there. It's an ugly world.
I come from a little island with the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. I come from, really, nowhere, and for me, the fiction and the nonfiction, creative or otherwise, all come from the same place.
It isn't where you came from, its where you're going that counts.
