First, see my corrections above. It is important to follow these rules of written English:
- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with one appropriate punctuation mark.
- Always capitalise the word "I".
- Don't put a space after opening quotation marks or before closing quotation marks.
Your sentences can be used with the corrections shown.
Context will dictate whether you need "about" or not.

Jane: I used to think about it a lot but I have more important things to worry about now.
