As a kid, I always loved serialized books. Its the reason why people love Harry Potter. Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when youre a young kid, you get attached to these characters. – Mindy Kaling
My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that Ive ever had in my life. – Mindy Kaling
I feel lucky because I was a nerd, which I talk about in the book, but I had academic success, so through that, because thats what my parents put a great deal of value on, I had a great childhood because I sort of fulfilled the expectations of being good at school. – 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.
