I was raised in the Catholic Church, and for me, the thought in the Bible and Christianity, and the spirit within that, is one of the guiding principles in my life.

With my Roman Catholic upbringing, I have a set of principles that serve me well in good times and bad.

As a practicing Catholic all my life, my faith and the church are never far from my mind. The lessons I learned in the church have structured the way I've approached my life and my career. They were lessons of grace, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.

I was raised a Catholic and when you're raised a Catholic they don't teach you to think for yourself. You're taught not to think too deeply about things.

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

In my work, I explore my own Catholic obsessions.

I'm really happy that I was raised Catholic because it's given me years of material.

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

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

I was raised Catholic.
