Danica McKellar | truth
People talk about ‘getting rid of the old image’, and I guess there’s some merit in that. But the truth is that people loved ‘The Wonder Years’ – I can’t turn my back on it.

Danica McKellar | teacher
In high school, a teacher once suggested that I be a math major in college. I thought, ‘Me? You’ve got to be joking!’ I mean, in junior high, I used to come home and cry because I was so afraid of my math homework. Seriously, I was terrified of math.

Students never think it can be the teacher’s fault and so I thought I was stupid. I was frustrated and would come home and cry because I couldn’t do it. Then we got a new teacher who made math accessible. That made all the difference and I learned that it’s how you present it that makes it scary or friendly.

Danica McKellar | society
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 it’s not for them. It’s for nerdy white guys with pocket protectors.

Find your self-respect now. Don’t dumb yourselves down. Think of yourself as capable and worthy of finding a guy who is going to respect you, too.

Danica McKellar | music
My husband is a composer, so he plays piano all the time and I sit there and clap telling my unborn child, ‘Hear me clap, hear the music.’ I know music, in general, is supposed to be good for babies to hear.

Danica McKellar | movies
I used to love to go to the movies – I’d see two in a row. A few times I even snuck into the second movie after it started… now that I think about it, that’s kind of like shoplifting! Needless to say, I still love going to the movies, but I don’t sneak in anymore.
