Adrien Brody's Biography |
| Quote: [Growing up in Queens, New York] "I hung out with troublemakers. I was a sensitive teenage boy, who luckily had kind parents, but I lived in a not-so-kind neighborhood. In order to deal with it, I toughened up and became more of a hoodier kid. It was never malicious, that's not in my nature, but I was much harder than I am today. Had I not had parents I could talk to, it would have got out of hand." More Quotes | | Trivia: Has great appreciation for hip-hop.
