I was born in a very small town in North Dakota, a town of only about 350 people. I lived there until I was 13. It was a marvelous advantage to grow up in a small town where you knew everybody.

I was born and raised in Louisiana - a small town called Ferriday, north of Baton Rouge.

I was born in Sarnia, Ontario; a small town, it's where oil was pretty much discovered in North America.

I grew up all over Idaho - I was born in Emmett, a very small town.

I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.

I grew up in southwestern Virginia. I was born in South Carolina, but only because my parents had a vacation cabin or something there on the beach. I was like a summer baby. But I did grow up in the South. I grew up in serious, serious Appalachia, in a very small town.
