Like I said on my bio on my webpage, I was born at an early age, I was close to my mother.

I was born in 1949 - which seems like a long time ago... Actually, it is a long time ago, when I think about it.

The year I was born, 1956, was the peak year for babies being born, and there are more people essentially our age than anybody else. We could crush these new generations if we decided too.

I was born in 1968, just eighteen months after my sister Chrisse and just one year after Dad passed the bar exam.

I come from a big family of storytellers and, growing up, I liked hearing about the years before I was born.

There was some indecision as to when I was born. My sister said it was 1916. I'd lost my birth certificate.

I talked about adopting a baby when I was 20 years old, before it became 'hip.'

I was born on January 8, 1942, exactly three hundred years after the death of Galileo. I estimate, however, that about two hundred thousand other babies were also born that day. I don't know whether any of them was later interested in astronomy.

Though I had come into the world on 16 November 1922, my official documents show that I was born two days later, on the 18th. It was thanks to this petty fraud that my family escaped from paying the fine for not having registered my birth at the proper legal time.
