I grew up incredibly poor and went to school and had a very average upbringing.
I grew up in a little funny town called Xuzhou, in the countryside, very poor. We didn't have hot water. We were four children: three girls and a boy.
I was not the pampered baby, no. I'm five years younger, and my parents were actually very strict with me, more strict than with the other ones.
I came from rather humble beginnings.
I was not so lucky to grow up with toys as I grew up in a remote area of Kenya.
I always thought I had a difficult childhood 'til I saw the film 'Angela's Ashes'.
I was an industry kid but was never brought up like one.
My family didn't have any money growing up. I'm just a girl from the ghetto; from Indio, California.
