I'm an A student. I'm addicted to feedback, and I want to please people. That's sort of how I've gotten to where I am.
Mindy KalingWhat? I have a cold. Donโt get a look of terror on your face. The worst that could happen is that youโll get a cold, too. You donโt have to theatrically Purell a thousand times a day and look all panicky every time I come into the room.

Mindy KalingAs a kid, I always loved serialized books. Itโs the reason why people love Harry Potter. Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when youโre a young kid, you get attached to these characters.
Mindy KalingHere's my feeling: For everyone, men and women, it's important to be a feminist. It's important to have female characters. It's wonderful for women to mentor other women, but it's just as important for women to mentor men and vice-versa. In my line of work, having Greg Daniels be such a great mentor to me is fantastic. Finding a writer's assistant, be it a man or a woman, and encouraging them to think with a feminist perspective, is key.
