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
Fast food is hugely important in the life of a comedy writer. All we do is order in, and what were going to eat is hotly debated. – 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
What Id really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity. – Mindy Kaling
