Frankly, I was born with a silver spoon.

There is no disgrace in working. There was no silver spoon around at the time I was born.

I've never felt like I was born with a silver spoon at all, although I've felt like howling at the moon a lot of times!

To be born in Wales, not with a silver spoon in your mouth, but, with music in your blood and with poetry in your soul, is a privilege indeed.

I did not grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth.

I was born in the middle of the century in the middle of the country, a classic Baby Boomer.
