You don't have to be disabled to be different, because everybody's different.

My mother is not a model. She is not perfect. That awareness is part of learning to love someone. Predicting the actions of someone is an act of love. We persist, even when we get it wrong. That's the beauty of love.

Every culture has contributed to maths just as it has contributed to literature. It's a universal language; numbers belong to everyone.

I changed my name because it didn't fit with the way I saw myself.

We will always have more to discover, more to invent, more to understand and that's much closer to art and literature than any science.

I certainly have routines in my day-to-day life that are important to me and still give me feelings of security and control, but the capacity to break out of them every so often as I travel has given me a second wind.

I would play with numbers in a way that other kids would play with their friends.
