We spoke French at home and I didn't know any English until I went to school. My mother was French and met my father when he visited France as a student on a teaching placement.

I was born in Paris and raised in the suburbs and then lived in the countryside.

I was born in America but all of my friends' parents, everybody's parents, including my own, had come to America from Europe. Many people in my neighborhood hardly bothered to learn English.

I was born in Paris, and my mother was a French teacher, but then I rebelled against my upbringing and studied Spanish in school. So now I just speak bad French and bad Spanish.

I was born and raised in a suburb of Paris by a working-class family.

My mom taught me German before I knew English. And I went to French immersion school.

I grew up really fast when I moved to England when I was 12 years old.
