Confidence is one of the sexiest things in guys and girls.
My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that there’s a lot of fear involved! Math is not, generally speaking, presented in a fun way. The concepts, as I see them, are fun, and that’s the way I’d like to convey them myself.
I love surprises – champagne and strawberries, all that pampering, romantic stuff. Guys ought to know how to pamper their women properly.
I’ve done a little directing, but I love acting more.
Note to self: When noticing flyaway hairs, do not use lip gloss as an ‘on-the-go’ hair gel.
One of the most amazing things about mathematics is the people who do math aren’t usually interested in application, because mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It’s structures and patterns, and that’s what we love, and that’s what we get off on.
If I had caused any trouble worth mentioning, you would have read about it in ‘Star’ magazine, which is probably why I didn’t cause any trouble worth mentioning.
If you’re beautiful, you’re led to believe that you can’t also be smart.
When you know that you can overcome challenges, you do gain that self-respect, and then you won’t end up in a situation that you regret later on.
There’s no reason to stereotype yourself. Doing math is like going to the gym – it’s a workout for your brain and it makes you smarter.
I am definitely a serial monogamist. I can count on one hand the number of guys I’ve been with.
I’ll admit that I do quite like drinks that come in coconut shells. So there’s always that.
Math is the only place where truth and beauty mean the same thing.
There seems to be so much shame wrapped up in speech disabilities. It seems very sad and complicated all at the same time.
What I got which was unusual, especially as a child actress, was parents who believed that Hollywood was not that important. They told us education, family, health, all come first and they meant it.
Look at Michelle Pfeiffer: My God, she’s 50 years old, but she is still so sexy. If I were into women, I would be totally into her.
When I got to college, I was intending to study film. But I found that my brain was feeling mushy, so I took a few math classes. I started doing really well at them, and solving equations was this, like, drug rush.
I want girls to feel the confidence you get from being smart.
At the risk of being forgotten completely by the media, I went to college and pursued a passion that had nothing to do with acting: mathematics.
I know we can’t always know what medical surprises may happen during childbirth. But my hope is to go fully natural – no epidural, no interventions.
