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

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

When I was growing up, I went to an Irish-Christian missionary school.

I was raised as a Catholic, but I didn't like the Catholic Church at all. I thought the nuns were mean.

My mother's family were full-on Irish Catholics - faith in an elaborate old fashioned, highly conservative and madly baroque style. I sort of fell out of the tribe over women's rights and social justice issues when I was just 13 years old.

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

I'm an Irish Catholic and I have a long iceberg of guilt.

My mother came from an Irish family of 11 kids and, of course, had a sister who was a nun, so I spent time at a convent and with an aunt and uncle who lived in New York and took me to the theater.

My parents were Belfast Catholics.

I'm from an Irish Catholic family.
