I loved doing problems in school.

I tried to fit it in with some previous broad conceptual understanding of some part of mathematics that would clarify the particular problem I was thinking about.

Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge.

Always try the problem that matters most to you.

I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream.

Mathematicians aren't satisfied because they know there are no solutions up to four million or four billion, they really want to know that there are no solutions up to infinity.

The definition of a good mathematical problem is the mathematics it generates rather than the problem itself.

I grew up in Cambridge in England, and my love of mathematics dates from those early childhood days.

The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.

I never use a computer.

However impenetrable it seems, if you don't try it, then you can never do it.

You are strong enough to sing as you wish, not as your pain has forced you to. You aren't your hurt. You're other than that. You are not the broken things you've been.

Having been in Hollywood as a shadow, as someone who is almost invisible, I can see fame for what it is.

I am for lifting everyone off the social bottom. In fact, I am for doing away with the social bottom altogether.

I hold in my heart that rebellious spirit of youth that demands change.

I love films where I'm looking around the world a little different now that I've seen that. I want something that nourishes my view of the world.

Kids need somewhere to go, so they're not bored on the street.

At some point in time, in the future, people are going to refer to the Step Up films as the films they grew up on. Hopefully, that inspires them to get in dance films that are being made.

Evil and good are everywhere, like shadow and substance; inseparable (for men) yet not hostile, only opposed.

The best way to deal with procrastination is to postpone it.

Looking at art is one way of listening to God.
