Im not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasnt good at sports, I wasnt 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

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
I think a lot of writers, male and female, write as if their parents were killed in a car accident when they were 2, and they have no one to hold accountable. And unfortunately, I dont have that. I have parents who I care about what they think. – Mindy Kaling
