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

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

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

I went to an all-girls' Christian convent school run by nuns. It was fun, but when I was 15, I said, 'Mum, that's it - I need to go where there are some boys.'

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

I went to a Catholic school but did not really fit in.

I was brought up a very strict Catholic and I don't practice anymore or anything.

I went to a Catholic school, and I just rebelled.
