I guess when you go to business school you never turn business off.

I used to forget that I was an Indian woman. I would even forget that I was a woman. I don't think of myself as bringing to the table a lot of 'women's issues.' I don't feel the need to write about maternity. I grew up thinking that the talented people in comedy were hard-joke writers.

Running is a quick trigger for a good mood. The great thing about endorphins, you don't have to be in great shape to get them.

I have a personality defect where I refuse to see myself as an underdog.

Because confidence is like respect; you have to earn it.

I have a thick skin, which comes from being a not-really-skinny, dark-skinned Indian woman. I haven’t fit in every place, and so I’m kind of used to resistance.

Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.
