I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things.

I was born here and I was raised here in Los Angeles. And when I was five years old, my best friends were Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen because we lived across the street from each other.
