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
I try not to put anything political on the forefront of what Im trying to do creatively. At the same time, I do think its wonderful when I hear people say that its inspirational that Im an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse, and my friends are a diverse group of people. – Mindy Kaling
