More quotes by Mindy Kaling
I love telling press the designers I'm wearing, especially if they are emerging. That's exciting to me, supporting talented newcomers.
Mindy Kaling
I'm Indian-American and I think that when I think of myself as being culturally Indian, it had so much to do with when I lived with my parents and was a kid because they would take me to the Diwali festivals. They would take me to the temple, and they would teach me about all the different holidays.

Sarah [Silverman] writes her own jokes. She doesn't just go through her life and talk about everything. She sits down and crafts jokes. Sometimes her inspiration comes from areas of her life that are risqué. But she is an A-plus professional joke-writer in addition to being very attractive and a great performer.
Mindy Kaling
I’m Adorable. I Look like Keira Knightley Running Errands!
Mindy Kaling
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
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
Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.
Mindy Kaling
People, you know, had trouble with the character. Mindy is not immediately likeable. She does and says a lot of things that you don't see in, forget female characters, any characters. Like, she says things like, I'm going to hell because I don't really care about the environment and I love to gossip.
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.
Mindy Kaling
He was so popular you could barely look at him without being blinded by cool.
Mindy Kaling
Everyone should try to live their life like they'd like to be a role model.
Mindy Kaling
I can't have a big breakfast or a big lunch because I get very lethargic, and then I get really cranky. I eat, but I have to eat small, healthful amounts of food.
Mindy Kaling
Bribes and boy bands. That’s all you need to be a babysitter.
Mindy Kaling
I am a super-confident writer, and as a joke writer and as an actress, I'm like, 'I want to go head-to-head with every person.' I am an Indian woman and I'm a kind of double minority in this world.
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
I was obsessed with being popular when I was in high school and never achieved it. There's photos from our high school musicals and things, and I'm comically in the deep background, wearing a beggar's costume.
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
There are little Indian girls out there who look up to me, and I never want to belittle the honor of being an inspiration to them. But while I’m talking about why I’m so different, white male show runners get to talk about their art.
Mindy Kaling
Comedy writers have the most fragile egos.
Mindy Kaling
I fall into that nebulous, quote-unquote, normal American woman size that legions of fashion stylists detest. For the record, I'm a size 8 - this week, anyway. Many stylists hate that size because I think to them, it shows that I lack the discipline to be an ascetic or the confident, sassy abandon to be a total fatty hedonist.
