Australia is an island surrounded by water. My fondest memories growing up were trips to the beach, walking around the harbor and playing in the beautiful parks.

Do you remember how you felt at seventeen? I do and I don't (...) Imagine you came from outer space and someone showed you a butterfly and a caterpillar. Would you ever put the two of them together? That's me and my memories.

Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.

I grew up listening to most of my parents' music like The Beatles and ABBA and all that stuff.

We weren't poor growing up on Long Island, but it wasn't lavish - just a regular middle-class house.

I didn't have a pool growing up, and we went to the beach to lay out and get sun.
