On Terryology, the 'True Universal Math': - “This is the last century that our children will ever have been taught that one times one is one. They won’t have to grow up in ignorance. Twenty years from now, they’ll know that one times one equals two. We’re about to show a new truth. The true universal math. And the proof is in these pieces. I have created the pieces that make up the motion of the universe. We work on them about 17 hours a day. She cuts and puts on the crystals. I do the main work of soldering them together.

On That Bizarre Oscars Moment: - "I walk out there and, um, first and foremost, I forgot to wear a belt that day. So, I'm pulling it up, I'm like, 'It's OK, my stomach will hold it up.' I get out there and I'm breathing and I got this memorized, I've worked 18 hours to work this out, I'm 'bout to kill it. I get out there... there's Oprah! 'Hi Oprah... Oh, oh, read the lines, read the lines.' I try to look up and I'm like, 'No, I worked on this, I'm not going to read the prompter, I'm going to say it from heart'... I choked!"

One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what’s the square root of two? Should be one, but we’re told it’s two, and that cannot be.” (Photo: Frederick M.
