More quotes by Mindy Kaling
I used to forget that I was an Indian woman. I would even forget that I was a woman. I don't think of myself as bringing to the table a lot of 'women's issues.' I don't feel the need to write about maternity. I grew up thinking that the talented people in comedy were hard-joke writers.
Mindy Kaling
I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.
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
What I've noticed is that almost no one who was a big star in high school is also big star later in life. For us overlooked kids, it's so wonderfully fair.
Mindy Kaling
I've always had that chip on my shoulder. I've just always been super hard on myself.
Mindy Kaling
I hated L.A. for a long time, and I wanted to leave it. I had these fantasies of going to 'SNL' and falling in love with some writer on 'SNL,' of getting married and living in New York.
Mindy Kaling
In my mind, the sexiest thing in the world is the feeling that you’re wanted.
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
I work so hard and so many hours, and I've done that for years and years and years.
Mindy Kaling
Bribes and boy bands. That’s all you need to be a babysitter.
Mindy Kaling
I stupidly memorize my credit card and use it about thrice weekly for online shopping. The only reason I don't bankrupt myself is that I return about 75% of what I buy.
Mindy Kaling
If I can muster up any allure in my life, at this stage, I wouldn't mind doing that.
Mindy Kaling
Hey, a disclaimer about me: I’m rude.
Mindy Kaling
To have a complete outfit designed, for me, is easier than trying to find pieces that work together.
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 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
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.
Mindy Kaling
In psychology (okay, Twilight) they teach you about the notion of imprinting, and I think it applies here. I reverse-imprinted with athleticism. Ours is the great non-love story of my life.
Mindy Kaling
I had to learn a skill set. I think I had the materials to be a good comedy writer.
Mindy Kaling
Couples are really funny, because if they are together, they can fight and do fun things together. In Jane Austen books, marriage is the end of the story, but I actually think a really funny couple could be a fun thing to watch.
