I used to do bell ringing in Benenden church. It was really good fun, actually. My best friend's dad was the local vicar, and so it was expected as her best friend that I would go to church every Sunday with her.
‐‐ Jo Brand
I used to do calligraphy, and I'm afraid that has lapsed, but I've always been interested in book printing.
‐‐ Alice Waters
I used to do Civil War re-enacting between the ages of 15 and 19. I was part of a unit that was considered very authentic. We would source the right wools, the right buttons for the costumes. We had the right look.
‐‐ Cary Fukunaga
I used to do community theater with Conor Oberst.
‐‐ Andrew Rannells
I used to do crazy things that people would bail me out of, and I'm just grateful that I survived. But the music got very lost; I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't really care. I was more into just having a good time, and I think it showed.
‐‐ Eric Clapton
I used to do design before I was actually rapping. I went to art and design high school.
‐‐ ASAP Ferg
I used to do drugs, but don't tell anyone or it will ruin my image.
‐‐ Courtney Love
I used to do Facebook but you get a little too wrapped up in that stuff. Its more distracting than anything so I don't any more. I left it behind. I detoxed!
‐‐ Emma Stone
I used to do films for money earlier. I never knew what perception meant. I didn't give too much attention to scripts. It was either to buy a house or to buy a car. There was a certain frivolity to the way I used to pick up things. I wasn't taking my career seriously.
‐‐ Emraan Hashmi
I used to do impersonations: Harry Butler in the wild, or I'd do Gough Whitlam.
‐‐ David Wenham
I used to do karaoke with Patrick Woolf in a karaoke box, and he would ring me up and say, 'Come down and do karaoke with me here,' and then we'd sing Kate Bush songs and get really, really emotional and theatrical in the booth.
‐‐ Gwendoline Christie
I used to do kickboxing, because I liked the cute outfits.
‐‐ Monica Keena
I used to do little sketches into my cassette tape recorder when I was a little boy. I would just turn it on and just start doing voices and characters. I just loved it.
‐‐ Harland Williams
I used to do lots of independent films and for a while I was very content living in New York City and doing independent movies and off-Broadway theater. I loved it, I had a really good time doing that, and I worked on a lot of projects that are very dear to my heart, both plays and films.
‐‐ Jared Harris
I used to do my best thinking while staring out airplane windows. The seat-back video system put a stop to that. Now I sit and watch old' Friends' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' episodes. Walking is good, but here again, technology has interfered. I like to listen to iTunes while I walk home. I guess I don't think anymore.
‐‐ Mary Roach
I used to do my Nelson Mandela voice to blag restaurant tables in Cape Town. It rarely worked. Now what a great city that is.
‐‐ Rory Bremner
I used to do my own make-up. I used to have this doll that had those big eyelashes on the top and bottom, and I think I copied her when I was doing my eyes, putting false eyelashes on the bottom as well as the top. So I came up with that look myself.
‐‐ Twiggy
I used to do my own taxes. You know how you buy that gigantic sheet at Staples, add up the restaurants, clothes, and taxis and glue your receipts into the book month by month? The more money I made, the more complicated things got.
‐‐ Heidi Klum
I used to do promo work, where you would be paid not very much to stand in the street for a very long time endorsing a product that you'd either A, never heard of, or B, didn't like.
‐‐ Chris Geere
I used to do school plays. I never really took any acting classes. I'm just a natural ham, I guess.
‐‐ Queen Latifah
I used to do skits for my mom... and I was always entertaining as a kid.
‐‐ Leah Remini
I used to do some philanthropic work, but with the political platform, I can contribute in a bigger way.
‐‐ Chiranjeevi
I used to do some terrible things in the marshalling area to upset my rivals.
‐‐ Dawn Fraser
I used to do stop motion in my own garage and Claymation and all that stuff. That led to doing backgrounds and matte paintings. I started doing matte paintings professionally back before the computer, sort of painting on glass.
‐‐ Robert Stromberg
I used to do stuff at college. I could do voices. I could make some people laugh. I wasn't the class clown, but I knew I had this skill.
‐‐ Steve Coogan
I used to do tech support for MSN in Canada.
‐‐ Cory Monteith
I used to do the beat box. A friend of mine, he was the rapper and after, we'd be doing a block party or something or a house party, and he's gettin' all the attention and I'd end up with a handful of spit, you know, from doing the beats.
‐‐ DMX
I used to do theater in L.A., but it got to the point where everything was really showcase-y.
‐‐ Beth Broderick
I used to do this big rant at the end of some gigs with Ben Folds Five. The band broke into this big heavy metal thing and I started as a joke to scream in a heavy metal falsetto. I found myself saying things like: Feel my pain, I am white, feel my pain.
‐‐ Ben Folds
I used to do volunteer work in poor areas of Cairo, and people would gather their money together to get a satellite dish. You'd see them huddling around and for the first time seeing issues being debated on TV that had never been talked about before. And that is the biggest promoter of democracy you could possibly have.
‐‐ Jehane Noujaim
I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy.
‐‐ Jim Carrey
I used to draw and illustrate, but I don't do that anymore because I just like to write. I like to leave the illustrations to actual professional illustrators.
‐‐ Meg Cabot
I used to draw cartoons. I'd just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them.
‐‐ Shigeru Miyamoto
I used to draw stickmen with star glasses when I was at school. I didn't realise that would end up being me! The whole idea was that the glasses had mirrors, and if a youngster looked at me, they'd see themselves. Everybody is a star.
‐‐ Bootsy Collins
I used to dream about Gorbachev before he lost power. I'd go into a panic because I was meeting him, and I had nothing to wear. I'd ask my brother what to do, and he'd tell me to wear my dressing gown. I'd tell him I can't - it's too horrible. He'd tell me to wear his as well. So I'd meet Gorbachev wearing two dressing gowns.
‐‐ Hugh Grant
I used to dream about presenting a comedy show and also about directing films.
‐‐ Joe Cornish
I used to dream of being normal. For me, if Kirk Douglas walked into the house, that was normal.
‐‐ Jamie Lee Curtis
I used to dream of being other places, other people. It was an escape for me.
‐‐ Lauren Bacall
I used to dream of some kind of way that you could carry a phone with you - but I never thought I would see it in my lifetime. It doesn't matter nowadays if you are caught in traffic or got lost on the way somewhere. You can just send a text and the recipient will know that you haven't fallen under a bus.
‐‐ Maeve Binchy
I used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.
‐‐ Florence Welch
I used to dress like Roger Taylor when I was ten because I thought he was cool. In high school, I used to dress like Stephen Perkins from Jane's Addiction because I thought he was cool. You just want to be those guys when you're that age.
‐‐ Taylor Hawkins
I used to dress up and impersonate our next-door neighbor, Miss Cox. She wore rubber boots, a wool hat, and her nose always dripped.
‐‐ Tracey Ullman
I used to dress up in my mom's old clothes and play with these kids from the neighbourhood and make up stories: I would pretend that we were all vampires.
‐‐ Heather Graham
I used to dress up like Michael Jackson. I didn't have the glove, but I had a red jacket like in 'Thriller.'
‐‐ James Bay
I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.
‐‐ Colin Hay
I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.
‐‐ Leighton Meester
I used to drive up from theatre in Michigan to Stratford, Ontario to watch every show. I idolized the actors from Stratford. I was very influenced by them because they would come down and work at my theatre and get time on their American Equity union cards.
‐‐ Robert Englund
I used to drum on the table at school. I think a handful of my school reports say that they thought I might have some kind of ADD because I was making sounds. I was far from being an ADD child. I was actually quite quiet and well-behaved. But I used to drum on things.
‐‐ Jamie Cullum
I used to dye my hair different colors and have crazy periods, especially early in my career when I played in Italy.
‐‐ Marko Jaric
