That's very interesting that you lived with your aunt. I lived with my grandmother during my childhood because my mother ran off to Paris. When I was twelve I actually went to live with my mother in Paris, but she was never much of a mother to me. I broke away from her and started my own arts career.
ReplyDeleteDid you like Brooklyn? I went to New York once a long time ago!
