I definitely feel like I had a different upbringing to a lot of other people, but not in a bad - or good - way.

My upbringing was very straightforward suburban working class upbringing.

My upbringing was solid because of the people I had around me.

The more I separate myself from my upbringing, the more I appreciate what it's done for me.

My upbringing is why I am the person I am today. I have very wise parents.

I had a very difficult upbringing.

I was so determined not to pass on to my children what I perceived to be the faults of my upbringing.

I see my upbringing as a great success story. By disciplining me, my parents inculcated self-discipline. And by restricting my choices as a child, they gave me so many choices in my life as an adult. Because of what they did then, I get to do the work I love now.

I don't deny that I had a very privileged upbringing, but my parents and that town maintained a sense of normalcy that I think many people find hard to achieve, and I am so grateful for that.

I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
