Early Life
Mori was born in Nagoya, Japan. When Mori was twelve years old, she moved to England. Her father was sent back to Japan when Mori was fifteen. Mori was given the choice of either staying in London or moving back with her father to Japan. She chose to stay in England, partly because she wanted to finish her GCSEs and gain some qualifications. She attended the Royal Russell School. Mori's father later opened a bank account for her, handed her a cheque book and told her to find a flat or a bed sit for herself to live in. Mori said that being on her own at such a young age helped her to be a very independent person, although it was still a scary world to be faced so young.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“The facts of a person’s life will, like murder, come out.”
—Norman Sherry (b. 1925)
