Quinn grew up first in El Paso, Texas, and later the Boyle Heights and the Echo Park areas of Los Angeles, California. At age eleven, however, he joined the Pentecostals in the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel (the Pentecostal followers of Aimee Semple McPherson).

When he was six years old, Quinn attended a Catholic church (even thinking he wanted to become a priest). In Quinn's autobiography The Original Sin: A Self-Portrait by Anthony Quinn he denied being the son of an 'Irish adventurer' and attributed that tale to Hollywood publicists.
