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'm one of five kids and we lived on a massive farm in New South Wales with my mum and dad.
I grew up in a very small town in Florida, like, 7,000 people.
I grew up in rural Oregon in a log house with bark left on inside and out. We had no electricity, a massive stone fireplace, a grand piano, and tons of books.
I was raised by my grandmother on a farm, where we were really poor - we had dirt floors - but so did everybody else.
When my mother was raising me, she moved us upstate to the Woodstock area. Our closest neighbor was a mile away. She planted all her own vegetables.
When I was in high school I moved from the big city to a tiny village of 500 people in Vermont. It was like The Waltons!
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 was raised in a lower-income family, and we were wild.
We lived on isolated farms and ranches, far from anybody, and when I was young I knew very few other kids, so I lived to a great extent in my imagination.
I grew up in a town of 5,000, surrounded by cows and oil fields, but there was a lot of opportunity in my tiny little town.
