“I want to be the poster girl for engineers and computer nerds.” — Alessandra Torresani Quote

I want to be the poster girl for engineers and computer nerds.

I was a very special child. I did stand-up comedy. I did it all. My family didn't understand. 'Aren't you tired?' I'm like, 'No.' I'm like an insomniac, I hardly sleep, I'm always on the move.

I was the child who would leave school and take her clothes off the second I got into the house. I made my mom buy me lingerie when I was 5 years old. I was a sicko. My mother must have been mortified.

I'd love to do a superhero movie, like a remake of Wonder Woman.

Adam Lambert is one of my best friends. I've known him since he was an understudy in 'Wicked.' Such a doll.

Growth hackers are typically computer engineers that build great marketing ideas into the product during the development process.

I tell my engineers that they should not overload me with information.

Finding oil is a multidisciplinary science. You need a lot of people - statisticians, engineers, and geologists, of course. And what I have learned in the past 30 years is that I read people better than I read books.

The West is not producing enough engineers.

What I like best is sitting in a room together with really smart engineers thinking about a problem.
