No matter where you from, there's ghettos all over the place.

What's popular in places considered ghettos - whether that's the inner city or Appalachia - is having a decent quality of life.

We've always been suburb people, and we lived in the East Bay when I was in Oakland. This time around, we're staying in the city, and my kids are getting that city life experience, which is something you don't get too much of in Alabama.

I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.

I grew up in the suburbs.

I grew up in Palm Springs, California, which is a suburb like a desert town, and I love it.

I was born and raised in the ghetto, on welfare, two minutes from homeless.

I grew up on the South Side of Chicago, north Beverly. It was cool, everybody's cool on the block.

I'm a California girl. I grew up in Inglewood right by LAX.
