I grew up in a very polite family, and I suppose my parents were both very polite, and from the time I was a young boy, I suspected that there were passions seething underneath and not being mentioned, and that was something that came to preoccupy me.

I am very, very proud I am also Turkish and both of my parents are from Turkey. I was born in Germany and grew up there.

I am very, very thankful I was able to pick the best from many cultures.
My parents were very, very close; they pretty much grew up together. They were born in 1912. They were each other's only boyfriend and girlfriend.

I grew up in Brooklyn, New York. I grew up in a very Jewish neighbourhood and thought the whole world was like that.

I would say I'm black because my parents said I'm black. I'm black because my mother's black. I'm black because I grew up in a family of all black people.

It was just understood that it was important, that it was our responsibility.
I grew up in South Jamaica, Queens, in New York. My parents were very religious churchgoing people. They were very strict. I was never really allowed to indulge in anything vain. Modesty always. I have three brothers and two sisters, so everything was on a budget.
