I am who I am: an Irish Catholic kid, working class from Long Island. And I made it big.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm from an Irish Catholic family.
When I was growing up, I went to an Irish-Christian missionary school.
Growing up, I was your classic Catholic Irish kid. I went to mass every Sunday. Then in secondary school I went to boarding school, and there was mass seven days a week before breakfast - it may have put me off!
I grew up in a little village in the west of Ireland.
I come from a long line of staunch Irish Catholics.
I'm an Irish Catholic and I have a long iceberg of guilt.
After I graduated from college, while traveling around Europe, hitchhiking, doing the tourist thing, I went into a church in Dublin.
I had to have some balls to be Irish Catholic in South London. Most of that time I spent fighting.
I studied with the idea of becoming a Catholic priest.
I'm just a normal working class boy from Belfast.
