I went to a school run by Catholic nuns. They were really strict.

Back when I was 8 or 9 and wanted to be a nun, I would often stop at church on my way home from school.

I was the black atheist kid in the all-white Catholic school run by nuns.

A number of girls of my acquaintance went to school to the nuns of the Congregational Nunnery, or Sisters of Charity, as they are sometimes called.

Going to Catholic school was what fueled me into comedy. The nuns were so brutal so I used to try to make my friends laugh.

You know, my children go to a local, local catholic school just down the road.

I was in a convent for a year.

For a Catholic kid in parochial school, the only way to survive the beatings - by classmates, not the nuns - was to be the funny guy.

I was brought up a Catholic and I was quite fervent, because I was sent to a convent school.

In the third grade, a nun stuffed me in a garbage can under her desk because she said that's where I belonged. I also had the distinction of being the only altar boy knocked down by a priest during mass.
