Danica McKellar Quotes

Math is like going to the gym for your brain. It sharpens your mind Picture Quote #1

Relationships are not straight forward. They’re not black and white. Sometimes things don’t always going in a straight line, and that’s okay. Love can be very confusing Picture Quote #1

I want girls to feel the confidence you get from being smart Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You can be obsessed with makeup and hair products and, you know, your appearance and still be absolutely making smart life decisions and work on your smarts, develop your smarts by studying something like math. Then you’ll make much better decisions on the brands of clothing that you buy or whatever it is that you want Picture Quote #1

I’ve been eating tons of organic foods, staying away from processed sugars, white flours, and anything artificial. It’s the same as my normal regime, but I’m being even stricter, because everything I put into my body is literally building this precious baby inside me Picture Quote #1

If you’re beautiful, you’re led to believe that you can’t also be smart Picture Quote #1

I went to about one frat party a year. A year seemed to be enough time for me to forget how much I didn’t like frat parties, and my friends would eventually convince me to go to one. Cheap beer, guys looking for a quick hook-up, and girls playing ‘dumb’ to get in on the hook-up. I just never got into it Picture Quote #1

My message is: You don’t have to give up being popular, fun, or fashionable in order to be smart; they can go hand and hand. Doing math is a great way to exercise your brain; being smart is going to make you more powerful in life Picture Quote #1

If I’m teaching girls that do love to make cookies and do love fashion - that they can use math as a part of that - you think that’s me saying, come on girls you belong in the kitchen, you belong shopping? Or, do you think it’s me showing them how math is part of all their life, even the part they thought it had nothing to do with? Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t in school often enough to really belong to a ‘clique,’ but my friends all studied hard and got pretty good grades. They were good people with self-respect. I still like to be friends with people I admire something about; I really believe that we become like the people we’re surrounded by, so I choose my friends carefully! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Most of the time I liked school and got good grades. In junior high, though, I hit a stumbling block with math - I used to come home and cry because of how frustrated I was! But after a few good teachers and a lot of perseverance, I ended up loving math and even choosing it as a major when I got to college Picture Quote #1

So somebody told me that if I wasn’t a coffee drinker yet, by the end of college I’d have to be, because a math major is so tough I would have to stay up very late. I was going to need coffee to do that. Well, merely because they said that, I never drank coffee in college, never got addicted to it, never needed it Picture Quote #1

There are stereotypes that have been out there for a long time that tell girls that their main asset, the main thing that they are valued for, is their appearance and also that it’s to the exclusion of anything else Picture Quote #1

If anyone tells you it’s impossible to be fabulous and smart and make a ton of money using math, well, they can just get in line behind you - and kiss your math Picture Quote #1

When I originally entered UCLA, I had planned to go for a film major, but I kept finding myself taking math classes for fun, ‘cause I missed them from high school! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve been just eating very healthy, all organic, no sugar, white flour, nothing artificial. I’m being so incredibly strict... not a lot of meat! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I was little, we had a Golden Book that had all these Disney characters in one portrait on the first page. My dad used to read from it every night. We’d play this game of find Pluto or find Donald Duck. He’d read us stories and do all the voices. Those are great memories Picture Quote #1

Students never think it can be the teacher’s fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn’t do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it’s how you present it that makes it scary or friendly Picture Quote #1

The fun little proofs that you can do with algebra - they are sort of like crowd pleasers in a way. Like, the .9 repeating equaling one. It doesn’t take a lot of algebra to prove that, and it’s really fun. It kind of wows people. It’s like they’re watching magic happen right before their eyes Picture Quote #1

I tell students that even if they don’t like math right now, they can use math as a brain-sharpening tool - a tool that not only builds the foundation for a great career, but that also builds self-confidence, no matter what they choose to do with their lives Picture Quote #1

I want to help middle school girls stay interested in math and be good at it, and see it as friendly and accessible and not this scary thing. Everyone else in society tells them it's not for them. It's for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors Picture Quote #1

If you’re beautiful, you’re led to believe that you can’t also be smart. But you can be fun and fit and social and be really smart. And the smarter you are, the more capable you’ll be to handle whatever challenges come up in life Picture Quote #1

Math is the only place where truth and beauty mean the same thing Picture Quote #1

Acting is my first love, and that’s my main career, it really is Picture Quote #1

There is an epidemic right now of girls dumbing themselves down... In middle school because they think it makes them attractive Picture Quote #1

I recognize that I have a unique position to be a role model to young girls because I am doing something that they consider glamorous, which is acting, and yet I took a time to really get my education and study mathematics, and I think math is the cat's meow Picture Quote #1
