San Francisco is where I grew up between the ages of two and ten and where I lived for a period when I was about 13 and again as a married man from the ages of 37 to 51. My mother, who is now 90, still lives in Los Gatos, about 60 miles south of San Francisco. I settled in London over 25 years ago.
I was born in New York and I love the United States. I knew it well, having played in every town and, during the war, in every army camp. I have grown new roots in London as I did in France and if I am asked now where I want to live for ever, I would say London. But I will always remain an American citizen.
San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn’t go to school. My whole formal education lasted three hours when I was five. I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day and said I didn’t enjoy it, and I hadn’t learned anything. My parents decided, wisely I think, that school was not for me and I never went back.
My mother then took over my education and brought up my two sisters and me rather in the way of an English lady who had a good education. A lot of attention was paid to languages and reading rather than sciences and mathematics. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers and we were required to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park and on our walks my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I’d like to have it. I couldn’t’t roll my “r” when I was small and my mother, who was very strict with pronunciation, said if I could pronounce an “r” well. I’d have the toy train. I practised and one morning woke everybody up with my “r” s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life—but I work hard for them.
