Although it is generally known, I think it's about time to announce that I was born at a very early age.

I was born in the middle of the century in the middle of the country, a classic Baby Boomer.

Of course, every job I ever had I thought I was born for.

It was an odd coincidence that my career took off the same decade as having babies. I often wished it had been different, that I had my big career bump in my thirties and my babies in my forties or vice versa.

I was born in a house where my family lived for 300 years. I was born in the home where my grandfather was born in.

I was born May 31, 1911, in Paris. My parents owned a small cheese shop, and my maternal grandfather was a carpentry worker. I thus came from what is commonly known as the working class.

I was born in 1946, so I was born on the tail end of when everything was deemed important. You made things to last. If you came from a poor family, there was only one can opener.

I have had periods when I've overused a word, 'candent' being one example, but I'm trying not to do that any more.

In labouring to be concise, I become obscure.

I was born in a slum, but the slum wasn't born in me.
