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 its not for them. Its for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors. – Danica McKellar
Its such a diversion to be constantly thinking of better ways I can teach people math that my hunger is for that really, for new ways of translating the beauty of it. – Danica McKellar
I used to love to go to the movies – Id see two in a row. A few times I even snuck into the second movie after it started… now that I think about it, thats kind of like shoplifting! Needless to say, I still love going to the movies, but I dont sneak in anymore. – Danica McKellar
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 cats meow. – Danica McKellar
