I was a lousy nun. I couldn't do it. I couldn't find God. It wasn't suitable for me. It is suitable for very few people.

I'd the upbringing a nun would envy. Until I was fifteen I was more familiar with Africa than my own body.

When I was a little girl, I used to walk around with a towel on my head, pretending I was a nun. And then one day my mother said, 'Why don't you just become an actress, and then you can pretend you're a nun.'

I had an Irish Catholic education. Horrible nuns, vindictive and cruel.

I'm currently in an interesting correspondence with a nun about forgiveness.

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.

If I could have gotten my way at an early age, I would have entered the priesthood, but my mother informed me that I could not become a priest because I was a girl. It really was the biggest blow to my ego, because it was my calling. When she told me I'd have to be a nun, I looked at her and said, 'I'm not following anyone.'

I don't have a life, I really don't. I'm as close to a nun as you can be without the little hat. I'm a golf nun.

I truly believe that God brought this, Dorothy Day script to me, because for a long time up until I was in eight grade - I wanted to be a nun.
