Running is a quick trigger for a good mood. The great thing about endorphins, you don't have to be in great shape to get them.
Mindy Kaling
I kind of killed it in college. You know that saying big fish in a small pond? At Dartmouth college, I was freakin' Jaws in a community swimming pool
Mindy Kaling
Sometimes I aid into the confusion by having my character's name be my name.
Mindy Kaling
You should never have to say hello or goodbye. Even at work sometimes, and I know this is very unpopular, is that if I'm going to work every single day, I don't think you should have to hug people hello every single day when you come to work. I saw you Monday!
Mindy Kaling
He was so popular you could barely look at him without being blinded by cool.
Mindy Kaling
I just want ambitious teenagers to know it is totally fine to be quite, observant kids. Besides being a delight to your parents, you will find you have plenty of time later to catch up.
Mindy Kaling
Sometimes I eavesdrop on people. I could rationalize it - oh, this is good anthropological research for characters I'm writing - but it's basically just nosiness. It also helps me gauge where I'm at: Am I normal?
Mindy Kaling
I'm not overweight. I flucuate between chubby and curvy.

I don't have very much time to surf the net, because it's as though my boss has a tracking device on me. The instant I'm looking at a Chloe sweater on Shopbop, I'll get a call in my office with a PA asking: Paul wants to know where you are and why you're not in the writers room, and if maybe you're online shopping.
Mindy Kaling
When I was growing up, I didn't do plays in downtown Boston, and my parents weren't putting me in auditions. They never thought, Oh, she has a gift! They never thought of me as an entertainer when I was a young kid.
Mindy Kaling
Colored leather is my favorite. To me, there's nothing more fun than wearing a cobalt blue leather skirt or a fuchsia leather jacket.
Mindy Kaling
I really think guys only need two pairs of shoes. A nice pair of black shoes and a pair of Chuck Taylors.
Mindy Kaling
Your fear that your parents will actually kill you for dropping out of college is something that I think a lot of children of immigrants would maybe relate to.
Mindy Kaling
Twitter is the most amazing medium for a comedy writer. I can't get in every idea I want on the show no matter how hard I try to bully the other writers, so it's a way of me getting out other comic ideas and immediately getting feedback.
Mindy Kaling
More than half the questions I am asked are about the politics of the way I look
Mindy Kaling
It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your 'portrayal' of women. Even when I started out on 'The Office' eight years ago, we could write our male characters funny and flawed, but not the women. And now, thankfully, it's completely different.
Mindy Kaling
I say if you love something, set it in a small cage and pester and smother it with love until it either loves you back or dies.
Mindy Kaling
There’s a whole list of things I would probably change about myself. For example, I’m always trying to lose fifteen pounds. But I never need to be skinny. I don’t want to be skinny. I’m constantly in a state of self-improvement but I don’t beat myself up over it.
Mindy Kaling
Live performance really terrifies me. I haven't done it, really, in years. I think that's why I retired from my brief career in stand-up.
Mindy Kaling
That’s the one nice thing about being a dork about men: you can sometimes play it off as restrained and classy.
