“I'm Jewish, but my mom's Catholic, so the guilt area is covered. I have the highest expectations, along with the lowest. I tried to put as much of myself as possible in Reality Bites, but in terms of my humor, I'm still trying to figure out what my sensibility is. It's a process, really. I don't feel like I have a very clear idea of what I'm supposed to be, or even of how people perceive me, except that I got put into this Generation X file.” PeopleFeelsTryingStillsIdeasRealityProcessTermClearGenerationsFiguresMomHighestExpectationsAreasCatholicGuiltMy MomSupposed To BePerceiveCoveredBitesSensibilityLowestFilesThis GenerationX FilesGeneration XReality Bites Author:Ben Stiller
“I was brought up Catholic and we show my mom, my mother, my sister and then I take pains to explain on camera, that there were years after that where I wasn't really religious. I certainly wasn't a Catholic anymore, but I still lived with some mythical man in my head. I didn't really put a name to a face, but I just knew that if I was in trouble or scared I would go, 'Oh God, please help me get out of this one.'” IfsMenYearsStillsHelpingShowsPainFacesMotherNamesReligiousTroubleMomPleaseCamerasCatholicScaredMy MomHelp MeMy Sister Author:Bill Maher
“Growing up in New Orleans, my mom and dad were churchgoers. I would go to church with them. Also, I was going to a Catholic school so I had a fascination with the Catholic Church mainly because, in my mind, (their services) didn't take as long. I was bouncing in between my mom's Baptist church, which was called Second Zion Baptist, and going to a Catholic Church.” MindLongSchoolChurchGrowing UpGrowingMomDadCatholicMy MomNew OrleansFascinationCatholic ChurchBaptistsMom And DadCatholic SchoolZion Author:Avery Johnson
“My mom was very spiritual. We were a Catholic family. We read the Bible at a young age. I have two brothers and a sister. We're all very close. That was part of our childhood. But when I went to college and then got drafted and played in Anaheim, it was a life changer for me. I was exposed to so many things.

“What stood me in good stead was my upbringing. I had a musician father, a very religious mother who totally supported us. My mom gave me my moral code which, even if I was bad, I wasn't bad for very long. If you're born and raised Catholic, it stays with you a lifetime. It's a good thing to have.
