Albums that remind me of my childhood happiness make me incredibly sad now.

Is this a generation of orphans who are going to the improv to do stand-up?

Your fear that your parents will actually kill you for dropping out of college is something that I think a lot of children of immigrants would maybe relate to.

I was kind of unfriendly and suspicious of everyone around me. I didn't talk until I was about 15. It's a kind of famous story at my house.

It doesn't help for you to name a character's first name be Mindy and then be like, "I'm nothing like the character."

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, it's completely different.

I guess nothing puts a damper on a one-night stand as much as your friend pointing out all the opportunities where you might have been killed.
