I'm a child of the '60s, I came of age then. I went to a couple of demonstrations, and then in the late '60s when the Vietnam anti-war movement grew as the Vietnam War was heating up, I became very involved in that.
I grew up watching Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer.
I grew up in a storytelling culture, a tribal culture, but also in an American storytelling culture.
When I grew up, I was in Manhattan the whole time. But my kids have been all over the world.
I've had and probably still have a lot of bad haircuts. My mom just sent me some pictures - I don't know why she did this - but she sent me some pictures of me when I was probably like 12. I grew up in the D. C. area and I used to wear a Redskins jersey just walking around. I just had kind of a bowl haircut for a long time and no sense of style or personal hygiene.
I grew up in a dictatorship, where you couldn't talk about difficult situations - there was this culture of silence. We would run into a problem and have no one to talk to.
Lincoln grew immeasurably as he came to think of himself as an “instrument of God's will.
For many of us, it's too difficult to jump in to vegan full on because it's just so different than the way we grew up eating. But if we take small steps - like replacing cow's milk with almond or soy milk, or using veggie sausage instead of sausage made from animals - we can keep enjoying the things we grew up loving, just better versions of them.
Having your own space is getting rarer and rarer these days. It's dangerous giving someone like me - who grew up fantasizing about studios and records - the freedom and resources to build your own studio. I would just live in it, which is what I pretty much did for all of the '90s.
My dad was a sports writer when I was younger and then he became just a general columnist. But I grew up with him literally getting into brawls with football coaches.
Whatever talent I had, I'm sure it helped that my parents were in the business and that I grew up around actors, comedians and directors.
I grew up in a household where everybody lived at the top of his lungs.
Magic could not be measured and explained in scientific terms, for magic grew through destroying the very natural principles that made science as people knew it impossible.
The joy of working at something to find out what it means to me is what I grew up with.
I grew up in a socialist country. And I have seen what that does to people. There is no hope, no freedom. No pride in achievement.
I grew up in New York, and I have that in me, that be-honest-at-all-costs, don't b. s. me attitude. I say, If you've got something to say about me, say it to my face. And then we'll either talk about it or fight about it.
I grew up in Nairobi, which is the capital of Kenya, so it's hustle and bustle, and there's always something going on.
My folks are economists and have taught economics and social science so I grew up with those kind of conversations around the dinner table.
I'm a Jewish kid who grew up loving hip hop in NY.
My head grew muddled with it all; the silly ways adults acted with one another, never saying what they meant, trusting in sighs and glances and distance to speak for them instead. How dangerous that was! How easy it must be to misinterpret a sigh or a look.
