It used to be that you had to make female TV characters perfect so no one would be offended by your portrayal of women. Even when I started out on The Office eight years ago, we could write our male characters funny and flawed, but not the women. And now, thankfully, its completely different. – Mindy Kaling
My relationship with my mom is really the single most profound relationship that Ive ever had in my life. – Mindy Kaling
I have a great job writing for The Office, but, really, all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. Ill put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is, like, Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean. – Mindy Kaling
The funniest racism is the racism between minorities. Its something you dont see dramatized, but almost every minority I know whos my age, they have these funny stories about their parents stereotyping other minorities. – Mindy Kaling
