I'm from a lower middle class background; all my family were immigrants.
‐‐ Billy Corgan
I'm from a neighborhood that isn't amazing - it's not the worst, either - and I was happy. But Atlanta is just one area of a country. There's a world out there I wanna touch.
‐‐ Shameik Moore
I'm from a nice, suburban, middle-class family, but my tattoos remind me where I've been.
‐‐ Tom Hardy
I'm from a normal household. I haven't always had millions to spend on creams and clothes. I like something that's affordable, but good quality. With Avon, it's really accessible, and everyone loves it. It's a brand that you can rely on.
‐‐ Abbey Clancy
I'm from a reserve. A reservation. So I know everybody. Everybody knows me.
‐‐ Kaniehtiio Horn
I'm from a rural town outside of Stockholm, so in coming to L.A., I've been able to not think that much about my background. It's much easier for me in this big town, this big bubble to isolate myself from that and be a little more self-confident. I'm here to do my take on soul.
‐‐ Erik Hassle
I'm from a small town in North Carolina and went to a small college and didn't think that someone like me could make a living in L.A. doing comedy. I worked hard, especially in college, but at that age, you don't know what's next.
‐‐ Fortune Feimster
I'm from a small town so, like, everyone's married with children or about to have children. So it's a little hard when you go home and people are like - and that's why people think I'm gay - because they're like 'Why aren't you married?' And I'm like, 'it doesn't happen for everyone right off the bat.'
‐‐ Kelly Clarkson
I'm from a time and place where bigheadedness was a really savage crime, and you'd get cut down for it by your peers and parents.
‐‐ David Mitchell
I'm from a very athletic family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sports as a kid, but acting was a way of expressing myself and having fun. It was something I found on my own.
‐‐ Matt Bomer
I'm from a very close-knit family, and there was something very... I guess you could say normal, about it, and I so appreciate that. We all ate dinner together every single night, and my mom stayed at home with us. I owe a lot to my parents.
‐‐ Rachel McAdams
I'm from a very politically and socially conscious family. My mother always made a point of making us look at what was going on around us and take stock of our part in it.
‐‐ Dave Matthews
I'm from a very, very rural place. There's really nobody out there, just roads and farms.
‐‐ Diego Klattenhoff
I'm from a very violent city. I'm from New Orleans, Louisiana, and it's good to see me be able to express my art, have a good opportunity for my life, make history and say something, without being violent.
‐‐ Jason Mitchell
I'm from a working-class background, and I've experienced that worry of not having a job next week because the unions are going on strike.
‐‐ Annie Lennox
I'm from a working-class family. We didn't have a lot, but we had the arts. You're talking to a guy who is making a living at doing what he loves doing - acting, singing and dancing. So any career ups and downs were not that significant to me; the only things that really powerfully impinged on me were my losses, and there were many in my life.

I'm from Alabama and I have morals and I have class. That's my personality.

I'm from another time period. E-mailing sometimes, for me, is difficult.
‐‐ Chris Messina
I'm from Australia, where the film industry is potent but small.
‐‐ Cate Blanchett
I'm from Berkeley, California, so I'm fully trained in socialism and all, but basically what they teach you there is markets are efficient and we can't beat them, so we might as well index.
‐‐ Louis Navellier
I'm from Boston, and I get easily overwhelmed in New York, so I go to Boston and stay with my parents for a few months at a time to write, or edit, or just to cry.
‐‐ Alex Karpovsky
I'm from Boston, and I'm hard-headed, opinionated and a good arguer.
‐‐ Kenny Wormald
I'm from Boston - everyone says 'awesome,' but there are a lot of people in Boston who say 'awesome.'
‐‐ Clinton Sparks
I'm from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education.
‐‐ Peter Criss
I'm from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, if you say, 'I'm dangerous', you'd better be dangerous.
‐‐ Larry King
I'm from California, and still live in LA.
‐‐ Teena Marie
I'm from California, but my father, who passed away when I was young, was from Newark. When I was kid, we would go back east and catch Yankees games. His side of the family are big Yankees fans. But, the real connection came in '97 when I moved to New York and became friends with the team.
‐‐ Carson Daly
I'm from Canada and my wife is from St. Albans, so I feel a great kinship with the Brits.
‐‐ Jason Priestley
I'm from Canada, and New Zealand feels like you took all the best bits of Canada and squished them onto a tiny island like Hawaii. I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the South Island.
‐‐ Evangeline Lilly
I'm from Canada, so Thanksgiving to me is just Thursday with more food. And I'm thankful for that.

I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.
‐‐ Robin Tunney
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio, which has one of the largest Jewish populations in a single district in the state of Ohio and almost anyplace else in the United States.
‐‐ Marcia Fudge
I'm from Connecticut, and we don't have any dialects. Well, I don't think we have any dialects, and yeah, it's very complex. That Rhode Island/Massachusetts New England region is arguably the hardest dialect to nail.
‐‐ Seth MacFarlane
I'm from Connecticut. My Mom is an army brat, and my Dad is a navy brat. My childhood was fun. My parents are still together. My childhood was pretty carefree.
‐‐ Cassie Ventura
I'm from Dallas. My whole family is based in Texas and Mississippi and Arkansas, spread throughout most of the South.

‐‐ Madisen Beaty
I'm from durable stock. I'm made to work. I'm Irish.
‐‐ Mary McCormack
I'm from East Texas, yes.
‐‐ Margo Martindale
I'm from England, and like every other great empire who stole bits of the world, there is a price to pay. And I was born in 1935. So, since I've been conscious of the world, I've either been in, or been on the periphery of, a war zone.
‐‐ Don McCullin
I'm from Europe, and I was very aware that there are a lot of literature snobs - especially in Europe. As soon as something becomes a success, it has to be bad, and then they'll do everything they can to stab it to death.
‐‐ Anne Fortier
I'm from Florida, so any time I get invited to come to Florida and play a show, I'm definitely always up for that.
