JAY LENO QUOTES III
American comedian & television host (1950- )
Knowing the answer in class didn't really come easily to me. I was dyslexic, so school was never my favorite place. I was especially terrible in math. I used to put my hand up in class and ask my teacher, "Where did mathematics come from?" He would turn red. "You're not fooling anyone, Mr. Leno. Your annoying question is intended to take us off the subject; you don't care where mathematics came from!" The same teacher once wrote on my report card, "If Jay spent as much time studying as he did trying to be a comedian, he'd be a star." That confuses me to this day. How was I going to become a star without trying to be a comedian? Maybe he meant I could be some kind of math star? No thanks.
