A Quote by Jonathan Banks

I grew up in Chillum Heights in the Washington, D.C. area., and it was never a garden spot. When guys go, 'Hey, when I grew up, my neighborhood was tough, and it was this and that'... the reality is that it was just a terribly sad place. And thank God, I was able to escape it.

I grew up in Washington, D.C. Suffice to say, it was not a garden spot.

I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.

Alicia Keys

My dad grew up in Washington Heights. I grew up in New York in Manhattan. So we're purebred New Yorkers.

Ansel Elgort

I grew up in the unlikely place of Connecticut. The Eastern Woodlands. It was semi-rural where I grew up. I was fascinated by the Piqua and the Mohegan Indians of that area.

John Fusco

I grew up in a very racially integrated place called Pottstown. It was an agricultural / industrial town which has since become a suburb of Philadelphia. I grew up basically in a black neighborhood.

Daryl Hall

I grew up with a pretty tough mom. She was a self-appointed neighborhood watchdog, and if she saw that any of the local boys were up to no good, she would scold them on the spot. Although she is only 5 feet 2, she was famous in our neighborhood for intimidating men three times her size and getting them to do the right thing.

Hanna Rosin

I was a street guy. I mean, I grew up in an Italian neighborhood with mob guys around. Where I grew up, you gambled, you shot dice, you played cards, you went to the track. So the mob to me was not strange, it was not like I was an F.B.I. agent from Salt Lake City.

Joseph D. Pistone

I just wanted to impress the guys in the neighborhood that I grew up with.

Scarface

Education is very important, and the botanical garden is the place to do that. I grew up in a semi-rural area and learned from that being my playground.

Nell Newman

When I grew up, I had everything you could ask for, and I kind of didn't appreciate it. Because it was a given for me. Everybody that grew up in my neighborhood was going to have an opportunity to go to college. I took that for granted. I always regret that.

Chris Long

Well, I grew up in a tough neighborhood.

Kent McCord

I grew up in a decently tough neighborhood.

Chris Weidman

I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood.

Alicia Keys

I would tell little Zavion Davenport that it doesn't matter where you're from and how you grew up, the neighborhood you grew up in.

Chi Chi DeVayne

What if instead of seeing a neighborhood that reminds you of the place you grew up in, you see your actual neighborhood? The data exists. The technology exists. It's just a matter of sourcing it and processing it in a compelling fashion.

Chris Milk

That's how we grew up - kinda like Pops would put his drums, his percussion and instruments into the car and we would just go to a facility in the Bay Area and he would say to us, 'You think we have it bad? There are people worse off than we are. Let's go give back to the kids.' And that's how we grew up.

Sheila E.
