I grew up in a very normal home.

I was determined to have a spotless house when I grew up.

Growing up, I always wanted a bedroom of my own.

I lived with my mom in a really small apartment. My bedroom was like in the living room. That's why I still love to sleep on couches now.

I was raised in a very sheltered, narrow environment.

I was born and I live in a small village, where the centre of life is the square, and the small bar/cafe.

I was a farm kid from the plains of South Venezuela, from a very poor family. I grew up in a palm tree house with an earthen floor.

I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood.

I grew up on a tiny little island.

I didn't grow up in a small New England town like the one in 'The Sundial.' I was raised in an apartment building in Queens, not in a sprawling, slightly sinister mansion like the one where the Halloran family resides.
