More quotes by 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
I have a personality defect where I sort of refuse to see myself as an underdog... It's because of my parents. They raised me with the entitlement of a tall, blond, white man.
Mindy Kaling
I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.
Mindy Kaling
A remarkable thing about me is that the time that elapses between a sad thought and a flood of tears is three or four seconds.
Mindy Kaling
In my mind, the sexiest thing in the world is the feeling that you’re wanted.
Mindy Kaling
I'm not into red carpet looks where it's clear the woman wanted to look like a pretty, pretty princess.
Mindy Kaling
Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.
Mindy Kaling
I guess when you go to business school you never turn business off.
Mindy Kaling
I'm a smart enough person to know that I don't want everyone to be cookie-cutter versions of the nine guys who wear Converse sneakers.
Mindy Kaling
Truthfully, I guess I would like to be remembered as a great writer and a kind person. I wouldn't mind if an expensive bag were named after me, like Jane Birkin.

I was always a silent comedy nerd. I would stay up late and sneak downstairs to watch 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Kids in the Hall,' and things like that. Very early on, my parents realized that I was not going to be an engineer or a doctor. I just don't have those inclinations, at all.
Mindy Kaling
Twitter is so short, it's safe. I don't want my bosses to be like, 'Hey, your script is due and we saw you wrote four blog pages.'
Mindy Kaling
People talk about mumblecore but I prefer bumblecore, hyper-realistic bee movies about how bees really are.
Mindy Kaling
As my mom has said, when one person is unhappy, it usually means two people are unhappy but that one has not come to terms with it yet.
Mindy Kaling
I have such a rich fantasy life, I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head.
Mindy Kaling
My dream of course, as a writer and a person who's an entertainer, is: Grow up to be Mindy Kaling, don't grow up to be Mindy Lahiri.
Mindy Kaling
Comedy writers have the most fragile egos.
Mindy Kaling
Why didn’t you talk about whether women are funny or not? I just felt that by commenting on that in any real way, it would be tacit approval of it as a legitimate debate, which it isn’t.
Mindy Kaling
I am an incredibly impatient person.
Mindy Kaling
That’s the one nice thing about being a dork about men: you can sometimes play it off as restrained and classy.
