I'm from New York. I grew up there. I grew up in Westchester County, the suburbs. For me, that was always the best of both worlds.

I grew up sort of lower working class. And I just didn't want to have the money struggles that my parents had. You know, I could just - as loving an environment I grew up in - and I grew up in a great home, a very loving home - but, you know, we had that stress. We had that stress in our life.
