I don't think I related to the Irish Catholic surroundings that was my environment when I was growing up.
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?
I grew up Irish Catholic with a bunch of kids at Catholic school.
I grew up in an Irish Catholic family, and I think they force you to watch every James Cagney movie.
Growing up, I was brought up around Irish music, Irish traditions.
I think, growing up in a small town - I grew up in a lot of different places. I grew up in a city environment, a more suburban environment, a more rural environment. That's the beauty of New Jersey is you get a lot of different types of living.
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!
And I'm a Catholic, from an Irish Catholic family, and we know plenty of stuff about guilt.
I was raised Irish Catholic, but I don't consider myself Irish Catholic: I consider myself me, an American.
I don't think many kids question their surroundings. Everything seems so permanent and inevitable growing up, even chaos.
'Environment' is not an abstract concern, or simply a matter of aesthetics, or of personal taste - although it can and should involve these as well. Man is shaped to a great extent by his surroundings. Our physical nature, our mental health, our culture and institutions, our opportunities for challenge and fulfillment, our very survival - all of these are directly related to and affected by the environment in which we live. They depend upon the continued healthy functioning of the natural systems of the Earth.
When I was growing up, for example, everybody on our street was Irish. And all the girls did Irish step dancing. It was pre-Lord of the Dance - it was before anybody knew what gillys were - but we did, and there was such pride among the members of my family and people I grew up with.
I was raised Irish Catholic and went to Holy Names Academy, an all-girl's private Catholic school. I loved the nuns there and I love them to this day.
The English and Americans dislike only some Irish--the same Irish that the Irish themselves detest, Irish writers--the ones that think.
It is sufficient to say, what everybody knows to be true, that the Irish population is Catholic, and that the Protestants, whether of the Episcopalian or Presbyterian Church, or of both united, are a small minority of the Irish people.
People do think I'm Jewish. But we're Irish Catholic. My father had a brogue.
I'm really fortunate. I grew up in a wonderful household with great Irish Catholic parents.
