I started getting Twitter followers after I started doing press for 'Fargo.' One of my best friends from college is a librarian, and she started tracking after each interview how many Twitter followers I got. She and her librarian friends were like, 'We're going to make a graph.' And I was like, 'Alright, nerds.'

Don’t push out figures when facts are going in the opposite direction.
Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions.
We went over the organization of the work program. More charts in pencil—he loves charts—no two of them are ever the same which is a bit baffling at times.
Describing a meeting with President Franklin D. Roosevelt:
I was lucky because logarithmic plots are a device of the devil.
I'm no mathematician, so I'm stuck with the graphic representations.
I hate charts. I just despise 'em.
I intend to put them on the charts.
When one controls form, one doesn't do it with a stopwatch or a graph. One does it by sensing, again intuitively.
The statistics might have a Eurosceptic cast, but they are not exactly a fun read. Few of us want to wade through ONS graphs or European Commission tables.
Math is one of my favorite subjects.
I did, although I didn't read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry.
