I grew up in Brooklyn.

On a personal note, I was born in Brooklyn. My folks moved out to Long Island when I was quite young, but once a Brooklynite, always a Brooklynite.

I was raised in Brooklyn, and I lived there for 59 years.

I grew up in New York City, and I'm a city boy, born and bred.

My childhood here... was very limited. So it was a long, long time before I actually went out to Brooklyn.

I was born and raised in New York City, Manhattan, uptown.

I was born in Queens, New York, which is a suburb of New York City.

It's ironic that no matter where I go, I meet people from Brooklyn. I'm proud of that heritage. It's where I'm from, who I am.
