I have an underdog spirit in me, and now it feels weird to kind of get my own way more often than not.

There are little Indian girls out there who look up to me, and I never want to belittle the honor of being an inspiration to them. But while I’m talking about why I’m so different, white male show runners get to talk about their art.

I love that 'Much Ado About Nothing,' passionate, smart fighting. I love fighting with guys, and that's something that I don't get to see: arguing at a high level with a member of the opposite sex. That didn't really happen that much on 'The Office.' I just like that 'Moonlighting,' Benedick-Beatrice type of thing.

Something that's happened recently is that I don't beat myself up about stuff.

On 'The Office,' so much of the show is about disguising your true feelings and your romantic feelings because it was a mock documentary.

To put it kindly, I am a very talkative, social person. To put it less kindly, I’m a flibbertigibbet, which is what my frenemy Rainn Wilson calls me.

I'm so much more confident and sexy at thirty-eight than I ever was when I was eighteen or twenty-four.
