I used to carbo load. But then I ran my first marathon, actually on a whim. All I could think of was that I needed protein. I remember going to the grocery store and buying one of those roasted chickens. I remember downing a bunch of that and, yes, I had some carbs, but that's what I felt I needed.

‐‐ Cy Twombly
I used to cheerlead in high school, and I had the biggest crush on one of my teammates' brothers. I was a great tumbler, so when he showed up at practice one day, I tried to impress him, but I ended up landing on my face! When I got off the ground, I had rug burn on my nose. I was in tears because it hurt so bad!
‐‐ Josie Loren
I used to chop up C-Span soundbites or interviews with politicians like John Kerry or Bill Clinton into a radio-esque show hosted by Awkwafina and her producer, Mookie. I would pitch down my vocals to have male guests and would send them to a small circle of friends after they were done.

‐‐ Greg Mortenson
I used to cold call labels and pretend I was one of their artist's attorneys. I'd say, 'This is Jay-Z's attorney, we need to speak with Craig Kallman,' you know, owner of Atlantic, and they'd say, 'Right away,' and then I'd be like, 'Please just listen to my demo tape!'
‐‐ Benny Blanco
I used to collect comic books. I had a substantial collection. I collect records also, but those have gone the way of the world.

I used to come down from New Rochelle and go to Radio City. They'd have a floor show and a movie. I'm showing my age, but I saw 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' and 'Broken Arrow' with Jimmy Stewart. It was a great way for a kid to see a movie.
‐‐ Vincent Pastore
I used to come up with these crazy jobs to try and provoke my parents but they said, 'You can be anything you want.' So I was like, 'I want to be a garbage man' and they were like 'That's OK, we'll still love you!'
‐‐ Lara Stone
I used to comfort myself when I became an actor that it was a useful job, entertaining people. And it was important to do it as well as you possibly can.
‐‐ Ian Mckellen
I used to comfort myself with the idea of a book with serrated, detachable pages, so that you could read the thing the way it came and then shuffle the pages, like a giant deck of cards, and read the book in an entirely different order. It would be a different book, wouldn't it? It would be one of infinite books.
‐‐ Franz Wright

‐‐ Ronnie Spector
I used to cry myself to sleep wishing I was ugly because of the way men leered at and disrespected me.

I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.

‐‐ Kayla Ewell
I used to date Latoya for awhile, I was a close freind of the family.
‐‐ Kurtis Blow
I used to define success as being able to produce any result you wanted, whether it was a relationship, weight-loss, being a millionaire, impacting the culture, changing society, whatever it might be - it might be homelessness, whatever - and lately, I've redefined success as 'fulfilling your soul's purpose.'
‐‐ Jack Canfield
I used to describe myself as a comic novelist, but my concerns seem to have darkened over the past few years.
‐‐ Tom Perrotta
I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.
‐‐ Betsey Johnson
I used to desire many, many things, but now I have just one desire, and that's to get rid of all my other desires.
‐‐ John Cleese

I used to dig around the sandbox and pull out pieces of coal and show them to my mother, and she used to say that's how I must have known I was going to be a geologist.
‐‐ Richard Mourdock
I used to dirt bike a lot. I can't do that anymore. Can't eat a whole lot of chocolate anymore, either. I can't be in 'Indiana Jones' and be a fatso!

I used to dislike bookshops immensely as a child and was won over only later in life.

‐‐ Jimmy Cliff
I used to do a lot of casual photography - back in the olden times when one used film - but it had fallen by the wayside over the years.
‐‐ Kara Swisher
I used to do a lot of comedy. I don't know what happened. I think it's my face.
‐‐ Eddie Marsan
I used to do a lot of fencing in the theater and a lot of horse riding in the early days, so I'm used to it in a way. If you're classically trained like I am, it's a little bit like mother's milk to me. I enjoy it.
‐‐ Brian Cox
I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.
‐‐ George Strait

I used to do a lot of yoga, but I tend to lose a lot of weight when I do that.

‐‐ Bel Powley
I used to do all my programming on a BBC computer. It was limited to 16 tracks, and you used the keyboard, not a mouse, to input, but I was using it so long, I got quite fast at it.
‐‐ Vince Clarke
I used to do ballet all the time, and I do this ballet workout: it is an amazing thing called Barrecore. It is like pulsing. It turns your legs into, like, jelly, and you feel like a Bambi; you lose so much control over your body because you're pulsing so much.
