I Used To Quotes

I can’t play anywhere near like I used to, and I was a hot drummer. It doesn’t bother me, because frankly, if you get to that point where you can’t hold a drumstick properly, there are many other things in life which are far more important, like cutting a loaf of bread or a piece of cheese Picture Quote #1

I’m a performer. I’ve just been one since I was a little girl. I used to pretend all the time Picture Quote #1

I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now Picture Quote #1

I used to get nervous, you know if my parents would come watch. And then I would get nervous if my friends came and watched. Today it’s not a problem anymore actually, because now I enjoy it. I see that they, you know, respect me immensely, and I try to put on a good show and show that I can still play very good tennis Picture Quote #1

As a child I was sometimes so hungry that I used to dream that one day I’d get locked in a grocery store Picture Quote #1

It’s important for a dancer to wear very tight underpants. I used to feel a bit exposed if I wasn’t being held up in the right place Picture Quote #1

School allowed me to have outlets so that some of the pressure was taken off the acting. Every role in every movie, I used to live or die by. Once I had these new outlets, I relaxed a lot more Picture Quote #1

I used to be really cute. I could send you earlier photos where I’m stunning. But I’ve gained about twenty pounds over the past two years, and the more weight I’ve put on, the more success I’ve had. If you drew a diagram of weight gain and me getting more work, a mathematician would draw some conclusions from that Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned not to let it be the end of the world if a boy doesn’t like you. I used to put so much effort into boys. I started playing guitar because I wanted to impress this boy. Then, I ended up in love with guitar and I didn’t care about the boy anymore Picture Quote #1

I used to believe I was going to live forever. And then you suddenly become aware that you’re not Picture Quote #1

When I used to do abstract paintings at school, like everyone else, the tutor said these would make great curtains. I would always neglect the formal stuff that was going on by using colour, because colour kind of came naturally to me Picture Quote #1

I used to write in bed, starting when I woke up. I believe that creative work comes from our subconscious mind, so I try to keep the gap between sleep and writing as minimal as possible Picture Quote #1

I used to be a longshoreman. I didn’t go to college. I have a voice that when I say something, it can sound way meaner than you think it is Picture Quote #1

A cricket ball broke my nose when I was a kid so I couldn’t breath through it. Before I had it operated on I used to stand on stage with my mouth slightly open Picture Quote #1

I’m 45 years old. I used to be a club girl, but that’s not my world anymore. That doesn’t mean I can’t make music that excites. I think it’s inspiring to see an artist you grew up with take another crack Picture Quote #1

I tell the truth, and I expose myself as a weak, misguided, misdirected, dysfunctional human being I used to be Picture Quote #1

I laugh at what I used to think was cool when I was growing up. In all seriousness, I thought having braces was cool Picture Quote #1

I used to lie awake at night, willing myself to put in the hard work, the determination, the passion Picture Quote #1

All of the things I used to obsess over, I’m no longer as obsessed with. I have new concerns but they’re a little more existential or cosmic Picture Quote #1

I’m a little less hungry as an actor than I used to be. When you’re a director, you’re the conductor of the orchestra, and when you’re an actor, you’re playing the violin. There’s a thrill to each of them, but as the conductor, you get the fuller sound Picture Quote #1

I’m really specific in the way that I shoot. I’ve always had a very good sense of what I need in the editing room. I used to shoot in a way that drew more attention to the camera and I’ve tried, in each film, to draw less and less attention to the camera. I think when you pay attention to the shots, you’re aware of the fact that there’s a director Picture Quote #1

I used to hang out at karaoke bars all the time. It was the most fun you could have when you had no money Picture Quote #1

I used to blame my problems on other people. But my moment of clarity, if you want to call it that, came when I was looking in the mirror one day and just burst into tears. It wasn’t just that I looked bad, it was that I knew my problem was me Picture Quote #1

I think, as a working mom, I have to dress myself differently now. I used to wear very kind of precious clothes. Now I wear more black Picture Quote #1
