More quotes by Danica McKellar
Girls think that being glamorous means making mistakes and being irresponsible. And that's just not true.
Danica McKellar
Confidence is one of the sexiest things in guys and girls.
Danica McKellar
I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it's too late by college.
Danica McKellar
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.
Danica McKellar
There's nothing unclassy about being naked, if it's appropriate.
Danica McKellar
At the risk of being forgotten completely by the media, I went to college and pursued a passion that had nothing to do with acting: mathematics.
Danica McKellar
I just love math and most people don't.
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 cat's meow.
Danica McKellar
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.
Danica McKellar
Teenage girls these days are more and more getting lured into thinking they should dumb themselves down, and that's going to attract the wrong kind of guy, and it's serious. It's serious business.
Danica McKellar
I didn't think that college math was for me. I didn't think I'd be able to hack it. And that perception of math not being for girls, not being for girls who see themselves as socially well adjusted has got to change.
Danica McKellar
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.
Danica McKellar
I want girls to feel the confidence you get from being smart.
Danica McKellar
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.
Danica McKellar
I've always been really cautious about guys who have a Winnie Cooper fantasy, and I'm so glad about that. I mean, I can count on one hand the guys I've been with. It was really challenging, but I never gave it up too soon, if you know what I mean.
Danica McKellar
What I got which was unusual, especially as a child actress, was parents who believed that Hollywood was not that important. They told us education, family, health, all come first and they meant it.
Danica McKellar
Math is the only place where truth and beauty mean the same thing.
Danica McKellar
Keep an eye on what your kids are seeing online. Parents need to stay involved in what their children are being exposed to. It's so important.
Danica McKellar
I feel blessed to be having a really easy pregnancy.
Danica McKellar
If you're beautiful, you're led to believe that you can't also be smart.
