“I don't know why I should have to learn Algebra... I'm never likely to...” — Billy Connolly Quote

“I don't know why I should have to learn Algebra... I'm never likely to go there.”

“I have been made redundant before and it is a terrible blow; redundant is a rotten word because it makes you think you are useless.”

“If Jesus was a Jew, how come he has a Mexican first name?”

“I have always loved astronomy, and being an astronomer once lurked in the back of my mind. But I was never good at algebra. In fact, I flunked it twice in high school.”

“Math just wasn't my favorite. I didn't get how important math is and how it relates to real life. That's why I think I was turned off to it. Once I got down arithmetic and a little bit of algebra, I think I checked out. As I've gotten older, I think there's a lot more relation to math. English was my favorite subject.”

“A lot of times, when kids have problems with algebra or trigonometry, it has nothing to do with the subject matter, has nothing to do with their innate intelligence. It's just they that they had some gaps in elementary school that they never got to fill in.”
