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.

Oh I'm nerdy about science fiction and fantasy and graphic novels and reading and I'm nerdy about board games. My favorite board game is a board game I'm working on right now. It's a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare and it's going to be fun.

I've gone for each type: the rough guy the nerdy sweet lovable guy and the slick guy. I don't really have a type. Men in general are a good thing.

I like funny guys and those for some reason tend to be nerdy guys.

I think Al Gore has done a great service in making global warming cool. He's basically taken it from a nerdy almost ignored issue to making it what it is - namely a problem.

I always hated high-school shows and high-school movies because they were always about the cool kids. It was always about dating and sex and all the popular kids and the good-looking kids. And the nerds were super-nerdy cartoons with tape on their glasses. I never saw 'my people' portrayed accurately.

Comic books aren't nerdy. You'd have to be an idiot to think computers are nerdy.

Being nerdy just means being passionate about something including everyone - the coolest people on Earth are passionate and therefore nerdy about something whatever it is whether it's sports or gaming or technology or fashion or beauty or food or whatever.
