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

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.

I never use a computer.

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

Just because we can't find a solution it doesn't mean that there isn't one.

They Were all clad in the same uniform of misery and filth. For all of time, for all of eternity

People are always calling me a mirror and if a mirror looks into a mirror, what is there to see?

I really started to get into reading the Bible and I started to look for a church to go to. Every Sunday I was going to like three or four churches, I was just looking for the right church.

Without a song the day would never end Without a song the road would never bend When things go wrong a man ain't got a friend Without a song

The key to having an interesting life is to always say "yes" to anything crazy.

The general image of a man in an American sitcom is like a complete moron. You'd think the industry was run by a feminist cabal.

You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people. But until you heal the wounds of your past, you are going to bleed.

For the painter, the system of painting in flat tints is superior to all others.

I'm a Taurus. To the bone.

O braggart vile and damned furious wight!
