I was a math guy as a kid. I was really good at math. I wasn't particularly interested in it.

Math was my favorite subject, so numbers were always running through my mind.

My father taught only math.

I really don't think boys are naturally better at math and science than girls.

When you have a kid, you have to be more mature.

In football, you have to grow up quickly, and you're generally more mature than other people your age.

That's like - my thing is I'm always like, 'Oh, white men are ruining everything,' and Max's dad is like... don't say that in front of your son.

You know how everyone - there's this maxim that we all become our mother or we all become our parents. And, generally, I really wouldn't mind becoming my mother. I really like her, so I wouldn't mind becoming her. But I definitely need to edit her.

We need schools like Doon and Mayo for the poor.

Children will come out and listen to a writer whose books they like. They don't need a government agency or a medal that says 'laureate' to continue that.

I loved medieval architecture when I was very small; I don't know why.

I believe young people need rules. They will respond to discipline.
