I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world. – Mindy Kaling
Almost every college playwright or sketch or improv comedian was sort of aware of Christopher Durang – even kids in high school. His short plays were so accessible to younger people and I think that was inspirational to me. – Mindy Kaling
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
