What? I have a cold. Don’t get a look of terror on your face. The worst that could happen is that you’ll get a cold, too. You don’t have to theatrically Purell a thousand times a day and look all panicky every time I come into the room.

More quotes by Mindy Kaling
I work so hard and so many hours, and I've done that for years and years and years.
Mindy Kaling
I think sometimes people think cheerful is a synonym for dumb, so no one is ever cheerful.
Mindy Kaling
If it weren't for my imagination, I would weigh ten thousand pounds. This is because the only way I am able to exercise anymore is through a long and vivid revenge fantasy.
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
I have never regretted erring on the side of withholding information.
Mindy Kaling
I always wanted to write, even before I realized that there was a comedy writers' world, or what that life was like. I never thought of myself, at least as a little kid, in terms of being the onscreen talent. I always thought it'd be so much fun to write sketches and be a writer. Even as little as 6 or 7, that's what my main interest was.
Mindy Kaling
I love that 'Much Ado About Nothing,' passionate, smart fighting. I love fighting with guys, and that's something that I don't get to see: arguing at a high level with a member of the opposite sex. That didn't really happen that much on 'The Office.' I just like that 'Moonlighting,' Benedick-Beatrice type of thing.
Mindy Kaling
Skinny foodie, get away from me.
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
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
The chorus of “Jack and Diane” is: Oh yeah, life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone. Are you kidding me? The thrill of living was high school? Come on, Mr. Cougar Mellencamp. Get a life.
Mindy Kaling
It's really sweet when people tweet at me and say I'm their spirit animal or 'I wish she was my best friend,' which is the nicest compliment. For me, it's like, doing television is so personal because you're in people's homes, so the fact that people feel that way means so much to me.
Mindy Kaling
I am an incredibly impatient person.
Mindy Kaling
Hey, a disclaimer about me: I’m rude.
Mindy Kaling
I had to learn a skill set. I think I had the materials to be a good comedy writer.
Mindy Kaling
Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.
Mindy Kaling
Sometimes I aid into the confusion by having my character's name be my name.
Mindy Kaling
I find it very sad that so many girls who look up to me are young women of color who have been told that they are ugly, and who feel that they are not normal...I think it's so important that women look like me find that they can be beautiful or objects of love, attention and affection.
Mindy Kaling
Because confidence is like respect you have to earn it.
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.
