I grew up Catholic, so I feel guilty about everything.

I think there is a sense of last things in my work that probably comes from a Catholic childhood.

While I was in college becoming a good Catholic I was also becoming a writer - one haunted by Catholicism.

I value my Catholic background very much. It taught me not to be afraid of rigorous thought, for one thing.

I am a Catholic.

I am just an ordinary Catholic.

If you grow up in a very strong religion like Catholicism you certainly cultivate in yourself a certain taste for the intensity of ideas.

My three obsessions are mental illness, horror and religion.

I was raised Catholic, and I have an aversion to anyone who takes religion to the extreme.

I try hard to be a good Catholic.
