“My mother was Catholic, my father not. I went to Catholic high school. Every form of education failed me. I was trouble.”

“By wrecking something, it's always reinventing. All modern movements in art and music wrecked what came before, in a way - and surprised the cooler generation that was one step ahead. That's how you get ahead.”

“I believe if you come out of a movie and the first thing you say is, 'The cinematography was beautiful,' it's a bad movie.”

“I remember, as a young Catholic girl in high school, seeing 'The Exorcist,' and it scared the wits out of me.”

“Ours was a very progressive Protestant family, but my parents were God-loving rather than God-fearing. We went to church, and I still go with my mum and dad when I return home - it's a family thing. I played flute in my dad's marching band, but I had an integrated upbringing. We had a lot of Catholic friends.”

“The Catholic men are more upset about women not being able to be priests than are Catholic women.”
