Once a Convent Girl
Television (Full Length) – 1995
You know some of us entertained the thought of being nuns ... for a few seconds.– Moana Maniapoto
When I returned from London my beloved Sister Mary Therese met me at Christchurch airport. She still had the veil and I'd been away in London for nearly 20 years. ... she whipped off her veil and said "what do you think of my hair?" Well, she might as well have stripped stark naked. It was the most shocking thing that I've ever been through.– Bridget Armstrong
Once you sort out all the more sillier tenets from the Vatican ... modern catholicism is actually doing quite well. I think that's also to do with being a mother of a daughter. She's going to have her own set of neuroses but she's not going to have the ones I was brought up with.– Ginette McDonald
