Honestly, I grew up in pretty modest circumstances. We were a middle-class family.

Larry Gagosian

I grew up in a very modest home. We grew a lot of our food in our backyard. We fished; my brothers hunted.

Martha Stewart

I grew up very modest, and I never forget that.

Ronnie Dunn

I grew up riding all my life, so I was very comfy on a horse, thank God. Although I'd never ridden... with sword in my hand.

Joshua Sasse

I've always felt like a lot of people's misconceptions of me have to do with how I grew up. I grew up poor, and I grew up rich.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

I find it hard to be labelled in this new 'super-rich' category because we all grew up with very little. The idea that 'to get rich is glorious' is really a new phenomenon. I certainly didn't grow up like that.

Zhang Xin

I grew up in a very modest house. We were poor-we lived on the poverty level. We all got jobs as young kids.

Chely Wright

I grew up in Northern Ireland, in the middle of nowhere, and when you are poor, you are really poor. And when you are rich, you are very rich. This is not a new phenomenon.

Jonathan Anderson

As a child, as far as I was concerned, my dad had an amazing job, and we had all the money we needed. My life was so fun and carefree that I didn't realize at all that we weren't rich - until I met someone rich. Still, I've never met a rich kid who grew up as happy as I did.

Artie Lange

I worked on minimum wage; I didn't go to college out of school. I worked multiple jobs, and it's probably not something Sen. Hagan's not had to worry about because we grew up in very different life circumstances.

Thom Tillis

One thing that I noticed is having met some former Taliban is even they, as children, grew up being indoctrinated. They grew up in violence. They grew up in war. They were taught to hate. They were, they grew up in very ignorant cultures where they didn't learn about the outside world.

Greg Mortenson

Hollywood is a challenging place; it's very easy for people to lose their heads. Fortunately, I grew up on it and I think I have a little bit of a head start.

Troian Bellisario

I grew up in an international school community my whole life, and my national identity is very confused, so I grew up listening to music from all around the world.

Sophie Hawley-Weld

My favorite leader is George Washington. Because he came from very modest circumstances. He wasn't the son of a plantation owner. He was the son of a farmer. He had no formal education, very frustrated. He started writing a diary when he was in his teens, and he wrote things like, "When I grow up, I want to be respected. When I grow up, I want to be successful. When I grow up, I want to know things." What I find fascinating about Washington is he wanted to make something of himself.

Les Wexner

I mean, I've always felt like a lot of people's misconceptions of me have to do with how I grew up. I grew up poor, and I grew up rich. I think some people who have never met me have a misconception that when I was living with my father when he was successful, that I was somehow adversely affected by his success or the money he had and was making at the time.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

Although my early equipment was very modest, later I made my own and they were more powerful.
