Things ain't what they used to be and never were.

I was raised Catholic, but then I discovered Buddhism, and I used to have a boyfriend who was a Scientologist, and they are all good religions that help people. As far as I'm concerned, you can have all three religions at once and it's okay!

I'm only two years older than Brad Pitt, but I look a lot older, which used to greatly frustrate me. It doesn't anymore. I don't have to fit into that category and get trounced by Tom Cruise and Brad.

I belong to a Bohri Muslim family, and for us, food is our biggest celebration. We are used to elaborate five- to six-course meals.

My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'

I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

Any tool can be used for good or bad. It's really the ethics of the artist using it.

Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors, and used as the framework to control their minds.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.

I used to be a Democrat, now I'm basically a Republican.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

Old habits die hard, and if you're not careful, the person you used to be can overtake the person you're trying to become.

I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure.

I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World.

Boys used to call me Soda in school days. Soda means 'serving officers daughters association.' I miss those days when I had a very protected life: one could get close and bond with other army people that they gradually would become your extended family.

The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.

My mother used to tell me man gives the award, God gives the reward. I don't need another plaque.

Don't make things too complicated. Try to relax, enjoy every moment, get used to everything.

My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.'
