I come from an Irish Catholic family, and hell-raising is part of the DNA.
I went to a Catholic University and there's something about being a Catholic-American. You know, St. Patrick's Day is, I'm Irish-Catholic. There's alcoholism in my family. It's like I've got to be Catholic, right?
And I'm a Catholic, from an Irish Catholic family, and we know plenty of stuff about guilt.
I grew up in a French-dominated Catholic part of the country. I was an altar boy. I went to Catholic school. I have a cousin who is a priest - it's part of my DNA. It's kind of hard to separate me from the church, to try to say where one starts and the other stops.
I come from a blue-collar, Irish Catholic, pro-Kennedy, pro-union family of Democrats.
All my family look Irish. They act Irish. My sister even has red hair... it's crazy. I'm the one that doesn't seem Irish. None of the kids in my family, my siblings, speak with an Irish accent... we've never lived there full-time; we weren't born there. We just go there once or twice a year. It's weird. Our parents sound Irish, but we don't.
I'm not sure I would make a direct connection between having press attention as a young person and being interested in the media as an older person. I came to it more organically, coming from a family of Irish Catholic storytellers. Storytelling is a pastime and important part of my family's history and culture.
I come from a deeply Catholic family. My husband and I were married in a Catholic church; we decided to put our kids into Catholic school.
I have differences of opinion within my own family, an Irish Catholic family. So, I do respect those that disagree.
I'm from an Irish Catholic family.
I'm more from a double world where I wasn't part of anything or invested in anything, because I was Irish, and very Irish, but also the other part of my family, not that it had airs, or money, was descended from the first minister on Cape Ann in the 1620s.
I have great respect for Catholic traditions; my family is Catholic, and it's part of my life.
I was a huge fan of J. Courtney Sullivan's novel 'Maine,' and like that novel, 'Saint' is a family saga set in Boston. Irish Catholic family secrets - is there anything better?
I grew up in a very old-fashioned Roman Catholic, Italian-Irish family in Philly.
I grew up in a big, blended Irish Catholic family just outside of Los Angeles.
I have undeniable evidence that many have awakened as a result of my raising hell. Raising hell is SO American rock-and-roll. And of course even soulless wimps love killer music and my incredible guitar tone.
I grew up in an Irish Catholic family, and I think they force you to watch every James Cagney movie.
