I'm someone who loves romance. I always have loved it. Most people who grew up as nerds, as I was, surprisingly, have loved romance.
I'm a nerd; I enjoy educating myself and learning things.
I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.
Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.
In high school, I was a total jock/extracurricular nerd/just plain nerd.
Sure, I love to read, and I love to learn, but I was always nerdy that way.
I was such a nerd. It just wasn't something I would have wanted. And I didn't want to act like an adult.
I have been a goof my whole life. I wasn't really the popular girl in school and didn't have any boyfriends in high school because I was a nerd. I was a geek.
I don't think that I ever thought of myself as a nerd.
I recognize that on paper, you can't really tell that I'm a fan or a nerd.
People say 'nerd' condescendingly, but when you're older you start to realize that it's the nerds who grow up to be the cool ones.
Lexicographers may be nerds who don't like human contact, but we're still people.
I got a really thick strong accent. I'm a nerd, nah not really, I'm goofy. You have to know me. You'll see it, people who know me see it.
If you were a nerd computer geek in 1982, the amount of isolation you felt - at least what I experienced, or the kids I knew, the isolation they felt - was almost total. They were not part of society; no one thought they were cool.
When I became my masked identity I was this incredible little nerd, but in the real world I had to be this tough kid from the neighborhood.
Like most lit nerds, I'm a voracious reader. I never got enough poetry under my belt growing up but I do read it - some of my favorites, Gina Franco and Angela Shaw and Cornelius Eady and Kevin Young, remind me daily that unless the words sing and dance, what's the use of putting them down on paper.
I was surrounded by a lot of male writers of color who have this incredibly bizarre relationship to masculinity. It's like we were all mega-nerds but you would never know that if you listened to the way they talk about themselves.
I still feel like a nerd.
In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds.
To improv-nerd-out for a second, it's like the most aggressive yes-anding you can do - if someone's like, "Yeah, you're super thin, right?" And you just pull that into a character and do seven more episodes of the podcast and remember to bring that up.
Deutsche Telekom was a brand that people still loved, the nerds loved it, and it was still there, it was still visible. The advertiser was OK. But it was a mess. It was in my mind, though, intuitively obvious what to do. I had some advisers and friends, and we looked at it and said all you have to do is get the iPhone, buy some spectrum, consolidate the industry, reinvigorate the brand, and take this company public.
Only the nerds will save the earth.
I do all kinds of roles - nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho, nerd, psycho - and occasionally someone kind of normal. It's weird, when I lived in Austin I was always cast as pretty normal people. But when I moved to Los Angeles I was immediately branded a psycho
Nerdfighter pwns woot. Everyone knows that.
Nerd girls are the world's greatest under-utilized romantic resource.
