I grew up with my mom always talking to everyone everywhere, whether it was professionally or in a coffee shop. And my dad was the same way. So I love being able to talk to people, hear their stories and be inspired.
‐‐ Katherine Schwarzenegger
I grew up with my mom being very, very cheap, so when it's free, I'm like, 'Oh my God, it's free - I have to take as much as I can!'
‐‐ Anne Wojcicki
I grew up with my mom; it was just the two of us.
‐‐ Kat Edmonson
I grew up with my parents in the kitchen discussing the audition my dad had that day or moaning about something or other in the industry, so it was unglamourised and normalised for me from a very young age.
‐‐ Bel Powley
I grew up with my stepfather in Brighton, but I did spend a lot of time with my natural father, and I was loved by both, so I suppose the advantage of this was that I wasn't bound by one set of experiences; I always had an alternative.
‐‐ Natascha McElhone
I grew up with my two sisters and my mom, so it's my lot in life to be surrounded by women.
‐‐ Bill Hader
I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.
‐‐ Ryan Phillippe
I grew up with no money. No money. I always struggled and had the sense that there was this other class of people who went to college - this was when I was younger.
‐‐ Frank Grillo
I grew up with not a lot of money and I definitely shopped at Goodwill. But even in my most unfortunate state, I was really blessed compared to a lot of the rest of the world. I had a really great chance to follow my dreams and have them actually come true.
‐‐ AnnaLynne McCord
I grew up with nothing, and I know that I don't need anything to be happy. We were wearing second-hand clothing and eating leftovers, and I was so happy. Five-star hotels and private pick-ups hasn't changed that.
‐‐ Lukas Forchhammer
I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.
‐‐ Alan Jackson
I grew up with older brothers, adore them, can't imagine going through life without them, and I definitely think I draw on that love when I'm writing about siblings. It's so powerful, the jump-in-front-of-a-train-to-protect-them kind of love.
‐‐ Jandy Nelson
I grew up with parents who were English professors at Wichita State University, and we were more liberal-minded as a family than most of the people I hung out with in Wichita. During summers, we went off to Telluride, Colorado, where I've returned every summer since I was born.
‐‐ Antonya Nelson
I grew up with people staring at me because I was such a tall, awkward girl.
‐‐ Matt Emmons
I grew up with protests, marches, demonstrations, struggle. But I come from a clan of community workers.
‐‐ Hugh Masekela
I grew up with reggae music.
‐‐ Youssou N'Dour
I grew up with reggae. Reggae is like family. I know it, and there's a type of love and familiarity, but sometimes you want to hang out with other people.
‐‐ Marlon James
I grew up with 'Roseanne'; I kind of adore her and stuff like' Home Improvement', really traditional American stuff.
‐‐ Jessie Cave
I grew up with Scientology - my parents at one point were clerical. It's a pragmatic philosophy, not merely a belief system. Yeah, it's had media exposure because certain luminaries do Scientology, but millions of people do it who are not celebrities. It's not a threat or some cult.
‐‐ Giovanni Ribisi
I grew up with Shakespeare, and there are so many wonderful teachings in those plays. The stories are all so unique and timeless. There is just so much learning in that body of work, and that is something I will always go back to.
‐‐ Juliet Rylance
I grew up with singers. My father's mother sang opera. My dad was a big band singer. I can't remember a time there wasn't music in the house, so I grew up listening to great songwriters - George Gershwin, Cole Porter - and my grandma was playing opera for me before I was 3.
‐‐ J. D. Souther
I grew up with six brothers, and I'm from Chicago, so princesses and Barbie dolls were not around the house. It was more like sports and comic books, so getting to work for Marvel is like my version of being able to be a princess.
‐‐ Chloe Bennet
I grew up with six brothers. That's how I learned to dance - waiting for the bathroom.
‐‐ Bob Hope
I grew up with 'Star Trek,' so to get to do anything in it was fun for me.
‐‐ Faran Tahir
I grew up with 'Star Wars' and was a massive fan of the original films.
‐‐ Andy Serkis
I grew up with 'Star Wars,' not 'Star Trek.'
‐‐ Rony Abovitz
I grew up with stories of people who start their own businesses and do really well. So I thought, 'OK, that's what you do.' I can thank my dad for that.
‐‐ Nick Woodman
I grew up with such an affinity to cats. I adore the way that they think and operate.
‐‐ Guy Pearce
I grew up with that completely fictive idea of motherhood, where the mother never strayed from the kitchen. All the women in my books are very afraid that if they do anything with their minds they won't be complete women. I don't think my daughters' generation has that feeling.
‐‐ A. S. Byatt
I grew up with that farm-to-table dining before it was sweeping the nation. I do think there's some value to really throwing yourself into food and embracing where it comes from.
‐‐ Meghan Markle
I grew up with the Beatles and they are still to this day my top band played in my iTunes.
‐‐ Greg Laswell
I grew up with the biologists. I know how they think.
‐‐ Margaret Atwood
I grew up with the Blind Boys' music. My family owns a music store in Claremont, California, called The Claremont Folk Music Center. I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel, folk, and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.
‐‐ Ben Harper
I grew up with the classics. My mom and I would sit and watch 'Singin' in the Rain' and 'White Christmas' - those kind of movies.
‐‐ Lucas Grabeel
I grew up with 'The Denver Post' and the 'Golden Transcript.' There was never a moment that I thought I'd work at the 'New York Times.' My goal, starting out, was just to see if I could be a journalist.
‐‐ John Branch
I grew up with the Gene Kelly look at war. The cheerful kind of stories you tell about a horrendous war.
‐‐ Tim O'Brien
I grew up with the Grand Ole Opry, Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Buck Owens... not realizing it was influencing me as much as it was.
‐‐ Lionel Richie
I grew up with the great Sir Laurence Olivier, and I think it's fair to say that a lot of actors of my age were influenced by his very individual vocal delivery. He was a showman who would always play to the gallery.
‐‐ Ian Holm
I grew up with the Highwaymen, which was Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. Mom and Dad rode rodeo, so country music was always in the house and the car. They threw in some Dolly Parton, too.
‐‐ Christian Kane
I grew up with the idea of the cyborg and the robot, but at the same time I felt this intense disconnection between the things I was engaged with and inspired by in terms of fun and play. It seemed like paintings and drawings were so static.
‐‐ Aaron Koblin
I grew up with the media circus. My whole life. My parents were very calm about the photographers, the fans, and all that. But I understood right away that I hadn't done anything to deserve that attention. No matter what happens, it will be there. I didn't choose it. You just can't take that too seriously. You need to live your life. And stay calm.
‐‐ Lily-Rose Depp
I grew up with the mindset that when you get home from work, you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don't want to be going to a club and taking off my panties.
‐‐ Blake Lively
I grew up with the movies of Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire and Judy Garland - these are the kinds of shows and the kinds of numbers in shows that I dreamed of being in and doing when I was a kid.
‐‐ Max von Essen
I grew up with the one of the most famous fathers in the world in the 1960s and '70s. He passed away in 1984, and as time went on, people didn't know him. That blew me away.
‐‐ Kate Burton
I grew up with the piano. I learned its language as I learned to speak.
‐‐ Keith Jarrett
I grew up with the religion of 'Star Wars,' frankly. That's when I realized there is something bigger out there... and it's called The Force.
‐‐ Trey Parker
I grew up with the sea, and poverty for me was sumptuous; then I lost the sea and found all luxuries gray and poverty unbearable.
‐‐ Albert Camus
I grew up with the smell of the lake and the feeling of the woods.
‐‐ Steven Tyler
I grew up with the 'Star Wars' movies since before I have many memories. We had them on VHS back in the day, so they were part of the fabric of growing up in my family.
