I grew up in a very small town in Florida, like, 7,000 people.

I grew up in a town outside of Waco, Texas, and we had 30 acres.

I was born in a very small town in North Dakota, a town of only about 350 people. I lived there until I was 13. It was a marvelous advantage to grow up in a small town where you knew everybody.

I was raised on a little farm about 12 miles out of Portsmouth, Ohio.

We lived on a farm outside a town of about 900 people. My father was the principal of the elementary school. It was a typical Southern town - there are a lot of churches, and it's dry.

I was born in the poor countryside. I was raised in the countryside, planting corn and selling sweets made by my grandmother.

I had a free-range childhood. We lived in town but with a cow, chooks, bees, and multiple veggie gardens so we could live self-sufficiently.

I was born and brought up near a village in Nottinghamshire and in my childhood enjoyed the freedom of the rather isolated country life. After the First World War, my father had bought a small farm, which became a marvelous playground for his five children.
