I just think the fact that I was told not to be curious about the dark side, and it was such a religious-heavy upbringing made me interested in goth culture.
Diane Birch
Image
I don't like crying. I'm a country boy, and we're the product of our upbringing. As a boy, I was told that men don't cry.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
My therapist says I still haven't got in touch with my anger. Maybe one day I'm going to explode. But I'm still really happy. I know it looks like a strange and painful upbringing - all those experiences led me to the paths that I'm on now.
Drew Barrymore
Image
I grew up Presbyterian, just a basic Protestant upbringing. There were years in my life when I would go to church every Sunday and to Sunday school. Then I just phased out of it.
Andy Dick
Image
I am actually what my age and my upbringing have made me - a bourgeois who adheres to the British constitution, adheres to it rather than supports it, and the fact that this isn't dignified doesn't worry me.
E. M. Forster
Image
People ask my mother whether she had any idea that I'd be CEO of a company some day, and she would say, 'Absolutely not. Totally out of the realm of possibility.' There was certainly nothing that would have been very predictable in my upbringing.
Anne M. Mulcahy
Image
I'm a Tulsa Jew and I have a religious upbringing.
Edward Norton
Image
Idea that all the beats are wildly liberal and progressive is ridiculous. You have people thinking for themselves and having certain affinities because of their upbringing and who their family are, their own people who were close to them who fought in these wars and so on. It's complicated. But they had that ability to continue the conversation.
Anne Waldman
Image
The socially pernicious, racially wasteful, and soul-withering consequences of the working of mothers outside the home must cease. And this can only come to pass, either through the programme of institutional upbringing, or through the intimate renaissance of the home.
Ellen Key
Image
I had a very modest upbringing.
Balthazar Getty
Image
Combine a left-leaning upbringing with a family with direct experience of the Holocaust and someone with aspirations to write and I guess, sooner or later, that person will have a stab at writing something about the Holocaust.
Elliot Perlman
Image
Nobody cares how tough your upbringing was. Nobody cares if you suffered some discrimination.
Barack Obama
Image
You have an advantage that neither education nor upbringing can buy - you have almost nothing. And therefore you have almost nothing to lose.
Felix Dennis
Image
I had a very sparse comic upbringing - not because I was being whipped into reading Chekhov and Dickens, but I read Asterix on holidays when I was a kid, and Tin Tin was featured, I remember, for a few years.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Image
I never played a rich man, I never played a prince. And to play a sailor or longshoreman you had to make your dance more eclectic and varied, but still keep it indigenous to your nationality, upbringing, and background.
Gene Kelly
Image
During the first 10 years of my life, while my parents were married, I enjoyed a privileged upbringing. After their divorce, my life was difficult.
Bianca Jagger
Image
If we are worried about the future, then we must look today at the upbringing of children.
Gordon B. Hinckley
Image
My parents gave me a strict upbringing, which at times has caused me to suffer distress but today I am grateful to them for it.
Brigitte Bardot
Image
My upbringing was absolutely not the archetypal writer's upbringing. Even, arguably, the opposite.
Graham Swift
Image
I became alienated from this religious upbringing, and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me, and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.
Cat Stevens
Image
I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.
Charlie Day
Image
This friend of mine had a terrible upbringing. When his mother lifted him up to feed him, his father rented the pram out. Then, when they came into money later, his mother hired a woman to push the pram - and he's been pushed for money ever since.
Chic Murray
Image
Just as a man's denominational orientation is the result of upbringing, and only the religious need as such slumbers in his soul, the political opinion of the masses represents nothing but the final result of an incredibly tenacious and thorough manipulation of their mind and soul.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Be like the bluebird who never is blue, For he knows from his upbringing what singing can do
