A hick town is one where there is no place to go where you shouldn't go.
Coming from a conservative family from Mangalore, I had hardly watched any movies or television during my student days.
Ordinary people simply don't know what books mean to us, shut up here. Reading, learning, and the radio are our amusements.
My hometown is a very boring city. There isn't a lot of industry - there are a lot of trees. It's not like Beijing where the sky is always dark. In my city the sky is blue and the sun shines.
I had a little radio next to the bed and I'd just listen to the top 10 - I mean, it was crap but I was young - and I would get up in the dark with the moon coming in through the window and I would just dance in my pajamas in the dark to the top 10. I didn't have a CD player... so it was kind of all I had, you know?
I didn't see a ton of movies growing up.
After twelve years in prison, I think I have listened to the radio maybe 30-40 times in all, and only when I have been without even a TV.
I didn't grow up in a home that glorified Hollywood. We didn't watch TV. We didn't have a lot of magazines around.
I didn't really grow up watching a lot of films. I grew up in the middle of Texas in a very rural area, so we were always outside fishing or playing a sport - we were never in front of a TV watching films.
My life is not nuts. I hardly ever watch television, I don't go out very much, so I don't really know what's going on.
My family put a lot of emphasis on homework, so there weren't too many comic books or video games for me, when I was growing up.
I grew up on an island without TV.
I'm a boring guy. I don't play golf. I read, but how many books can I read?
We did not go to that many movies in a theater in the little town I grew up in.
When you live in a small town like Iowa Falls, there's not a lot to do, so we would, as a family, watch a ton of films.
I grew up in Dutch Harbor, Alaska - a place so tiny, we got only one channel on TV. The high school and middle school had 50 kids total!
I grew up in Pennsylvania in a small town. Real small, like one high school and one movie theater. Well, there was a state college there, that was the only good thing about it.
I hate small towns because once you've seen the cannon in the park there's nothing else to do.
My home town is very small and very remote and we don't have a movie house.
Barbies were banned at our house, along with television other than PBS. As a kid, I found this horribly embarrassing.
When you're never home and traveling, you don't play videogames.
My parents were Northern Ireland Labour party people. We read the 'Guardian' and the 'New Statesman,' listened to the BBC. The house was full of books. We didn't get a television until 'That Was The Week That Was' started. There was nothing to do but read.
I wasn't allowed to go to movies when I was kid; my father was a minister. 101 Dalmatians and King of Kings, that was the extent of it.
