More quotes by Mindy Kaling
The way that TV is set up is very helpful for when a show comes to an end because as an actor, you've got acting, but as a showrunner you still get to edit for three months and after that ends you get to do a sound mix. So, as a writer-performer in television, it's a very nurturing, gradual environment to say goodbye to a show.

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.

My understanding of the way sex scenes work is that you're surrounded by crew, and you're cold, and you have to do it eight times 'cause they didn't get the lighting. It doesn't sound pleasant, but you think that actors actually enjoy it?

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
Every day, I wake up and I'm like, Oh, I'm the star of my own show that has my name in it and I get to write it and hire actors that I've loved for such a long time! It's amazing!
Mindy Kaling
I think as humans, no one remembers their successes, everyone just remembers their failures.
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
Everyone has a moment when they discover they love Amy Poehler.
Mindy Kaling
I worship makeup. The basics are always: Stila shadows, LeClerc powder for my crazy shiny skin, Bobbie brown liner pot, Chanel mascara, and Koh Gen Do for foundation, Nars for colors and sparkles.

There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.

Bribes and boy bands. That’s all you need to be a babysitter.

If I can muster up any allure in my life, at this stage, I wouldn't mind doing that.

I feel like the high-concept shows that have some kind of gimmick tend not to be the hit classic shows of all time.
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
[Being role model ]is good for me mentally, selfishly, and it's also nice to try to do that for, especially, younger women. I mean, it's scary as hell. ... I worry about it, but I think it's a good thing to try to do.

I'm not overweight. I flucuate between chubby and curvy.
