I grew up in a family of firemen and cops.

Every year there's five cop shows, five medical shows and five 'Law & Orders,' but when it's a show about women, they want to pit everyone against each other. I don't think they'd do that if it was a guy show. I think there's room for all of us.

I grew up in Los Angeles in a Quaker family, and for me being Quaker was a political calling rather than a religious one.

I grew up in an agnostic broad-minded family.

I grew up in a slum neighborhood - rows of tenements, with stoops, and kids all over the street. It was a real neighborhood - we played kick-the-can and ring-a-levio.

I have a bunch of brothers. I grew up with a big family.
