When people ask me what my religion is, I say it's the Arsenal.

The reason why we do maths is because it's like poetry. It's about patterns, and that really turned me on. It made me feel that maths was in tune with the other things I liked doing.

Mathematics is a place where you can do things which you can't do in the real world.

Mathematics has beauty and romance. It's not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It's an extraordinary place; it's worth spending time there.

The point is with good maths skills you have just wonderful opportunities and if you don't have good maths skills, there are just so many things that you won't be able to do.

You know, I'm not terribly fast at my times tables, because that's not what I think mathematics is about.

Theory is needed to tell you where to look.

Primes are the atoms of the arithmetic - the hydrogen and oxygen of the world of numbers

The power of mathematics is often to change one thing into another, to change geometry into language.

Don't be afraid to be awesome. Sometimes being weird and different is good. When you think you're working hard, there is always someone else working harder, so always be yourself and know your stuff.

Oft, as in airy rings they skim the heath, The clamtrous lapwings feel the leaden death; Oft, as the mounting larks their notes prepare They fall, and leave their little lives in air.

If you've found some way to educate yourself about engineering, stocks, or whatever it is, good employers will have some type of exam or interview and see a sample of your work.

A ruined man fell from her hands like a ripe fruit, to lie rotting on the ground.

If one intends to make beer from oats, it is prepared with hops.

I just feel that you reach a point when its time to move on.

Nothing is more practical than a good theory.

A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.

I write lyrics everyday as I go. I'm always taking notes in my phone whenever I am inspired by something. Most of my writing starts out as poetry before I put it into songs.

There is much to do, and I am busy, very busy.
