I grew up across the marsh from The Citadel.

There's nothing better for kids than a bucket and shovel at the beach. I grew up across the marsh from The Citadel. We loved buying chicken necks at the Piggly Wiggly, tying them to a string on a stick and catching blue crabs.

Charleston is an amazing place. I probably didn't appreciate it enough when I was growing up.

I grew up right in Santa Cruz, right across the bay from Monterey. I would go to Monterey all the time.

I grew up worshipping Pee-wee Herman.

When my sister and I were kids, swimming down in Charleston, there was this pizza parlor that had this old Dixieland band play, and I just loved Louis Armstrong and the sound of his voice, and I got up there with the band and started singing Louis Armstrong songs when I was a kid. I have no idea why, but I did it and I loved it.
