As my mom has said, when one person is unhappy, it usually means two people are unhappy but that one has not come to terms with it yet.
Mindy KalingI donโt think it should be socially acceptable for people to say they are โbad with names.โ No one is bad with names. That is not a real thing. Not knowing peopleโs names isnโt a neurological condition; itโs a choice. You choose not to make learning peopleโs names a priority. Itโs like saying, โHey, a disclaimer about me: Iโm rude.
Mindy KalingI try not to put anything political on the forefront of what I'm trying to do creatively. At the same time, I do think it's wonderful when I hear people say that it's inspirational that I'm an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse, and my friends are a diverse group of people.
Mindy KalingI do not think stress is a legitimate topic of conversation, in public anyway. No one ever wants to hear how stressed out anyone else is, because most of the time everyone is stressed out. Going on and on in detail about how stressed out I am isnโt conversation. Itโll never lead anywhere. No one is going to say, โWow, Mindy, you really have it especially bad. I have heard some stories of stress, but this just takes the cake.
Mindy KalingI don't mind that if I ever star in movies, they'll likely be mine. That's okay, because my great role models - Woody Allen, even Tyler Perry, who is actually one of my role models, even if that seems kind of strange - they do that themselves. And it's great. They build empires, and they're known as having their own voice. I think it's 20 times more fun to act on a set where I feel the freedom to change the dialogue.
