I know a lot of people think of me and they like, oh that girl is really sexy, that girl is really put together, she would never do something as unladylike as a beet eating competition.
Mindy KalingI think a lot of people compare female writers or female comedians to each other in a way that men are not. Male comedy writers are not scrutinized.
Mindy KalingI always wanted to write, even before I realized that there was a comedy writers' world, or what that life was like. I never thought of myself, at least as a little kid, in terms of being the onscreen talent. I always thought it'd be so much fun to write sketches and be a writer. Even as little as 6 or 7, that's what my main interest was.
Mindy KalingThereโs a whole list of things I would probably change about myself. For example, Iโm always trying to lose fifteen pounds. But I never need to be skinny. I donโt want to be skinny. Iโm constantly in a state of self-improvement but I donโt beat myself up over it.
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.
