I grew up in Los Angeles and always wished I'd spent a childhood in a far different place.
‐‐ Berkeley Breathed
I grew up in Los Angeles, and I've made movies all over the world... I've been in New York, Norway, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, London - I've been in all these cities, shooting away in the winter, thinking, 'People who choose to live here are insane.'
‐‐ John Landis
I grew up in Los Angeles, and I was always fascinated by the La Brea Tar Pits. Right in the middle of the city, in an area called the Miracle Mile, for crying out loud, we have these eldritch ponds of dark, bubbling goo. And down in the muck, there're all these amazing fossils: mammoth and saber tooth cat and dire wolf.
‐‐ Greg van Eekhout
I grew up in Los Angeles. I still remember when I was a junior in high school studying for the SATs. I had my job - I was actually a production assistant on a film - but on weekends, I would finish my prep tests on the beach.

I grew up in Los Angeles in a Quaker family, and for me being Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one.

‐‐ Leila Janah
I grew up in Louisiana - a little suburb right outside of New Orleans - and I wouldn't have it any other way!

‐‐ Bella Hadid
I grew up in Mammoth Lakes, and they shot an episode up there, and I was hanging around when I was on the ski team. I was very, very involved in athletics, so I didn't watch a lot of TV, but I definitely watched a lot of '90210.'
‐‐ Trevor Donovan

‐‐ Bernard Hill
I grew up in Manchester in a big Irish family - there are seven of us in all - so my life has always been about role-playing, about doing anything for a laugh. I'm always joking about; that's the way I am.

I grew up in Manhattan on the Upper East Side.
‐‐ Laura Linney

‐‐ Jay-Z
I grew up in Marin County north of San Francisco, and in the 1950s and '60s it was a natural paradise.
‐‐ Huey Lewis
I grew up in Mexico, not the U.S., and the fact is that there just aren't any parts for Latin actresses. I have to persuade people that my accent won't be a problem, but an asset.

I grew up in Michigan, in a very small town, Centreville. In my graduating class, I had like 92 people.
‐‐ Verne Troyer

‐‐ Steven Yeun
I grew up in Middle America and I don't think my family was very funny, but I watched 'The Princess Bride.' I always wanted to be an actor. I didn't know anything about it. I'd never seen any plays or anything and I watched that movie over and over and over again.
‐‐ Missi Pyle
I grew up in Minnesota.
‐‐ Seann William Scott
I grew up in Minnesota and everyone is so nice there. It is like Fargo. Everyone's so chipper and you make friends just grocery shopping. We kill each other with kindness.

‐‐ Peter Agre
I grew up in Minnesota, where we treasure our tradition of civic engagement - and our record of having the nation's highest voter participation.

I grew up in Mississippi, and there's no fashion game there. Even in 'Bling Ring,' I had to learn a lot about fashion - you know, the differences between lapels - and it wasn't until we'd wrapped that I really started getting into it.
‐‐ Israel Broussard
I grew up in Mississippi. I was there for 13 years, and then when I turned 13, I moved out to L.A.
‐‐ Israel Broussard
I grew up in Mobile, Alabama - somebody's got to be from Mobile, right? - and Mobile sits at the confluence of five rivers, forming this beautiful delta. And the delta has alligators crawling in and out of rivers filled with fish and cypress trees dripping with snakes, birds of every flavor.
‐‐ Mike deGruy
I grew up in Montpelier, Indiana. It's a little town in the northeast corner of Indiana. It's a rural community; about two thousand people, a very much hometown U.S.A. kind of thing.

‐‐ Lupita Nyong'o
I grew up in neighbouring Hawaii, where Tahiti is regarded as a brother.
‐‐ Marie Helvin
I grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. I've probably been to Fenway 40 times. I've been pretty lucky as a sports fan because the Patriots have won Super Bowls and the Red Sox have won World Series during my lifetime.

‐‐ Rosemary Mahoney
I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.
‐‐ Steven Tyler
I grew up in New Jersey and my father was a golf pro, so I was groomed for sports, but I wasn't very good, so my interests lay elsewhere.
‐‐ Joe Dante
I grew up in New Jersey and never went up the Statue of Liberty.
‐‐ Buzz Aldrin
I grew up in New Mexico, and the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with.

‐‐ Tom Ford
I grew up in New York.

‐‐ Dean O'Gorman
I grew up in New York City, a town with different races, religions, and peoples. It breeds tolerance.
‐‐ Donald Trump
I grew up in New York City, and both my parents worked. On weekends, we'd go out to the country, and on Sunday nights we'd come back. Sometimes we were a little cranky - it was a long drive. But we could always look forward to one thing: my mother's ziti and meat sauce.
‐‐ Christa Miller
I grew up in New York City, and I'm a city boy, born and bred.
‐‐ Ben Schnetzer
I grew up in New York City - I grew up surrounded by every sound that you imagine can come from a New Yorker. All of the different boroughs and all of the different sounds.

‐‐ Gail Carson Levine
I grew up in New York City in the '80s, and it was the epicenter of hip-hop. There was no Internet. Cable television wasn't as broad. I would listen to the radio, hear cars pass by playing a song, or tape songs off of the radio. At that time, there was such an excitement around hip-hop music.

‐‐ Kerry Washington
I grew up in New York till I was 5, and I remember going to see 'Annie' and some musicals as a kid, and I remember my parents being somewhat okay with us watching 'Rocky Horror Picture Show,' which, it boggles my mind that they allowed me to watch it.

I grew up in New York where there is such a different variety of people.
