I love talking about clothes with women; it's like a code because women dress for women.

I have such a rich fantasy life, I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head.

Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.

I find it very sad that so many girls who look up to me are young women of color who have been told that they are ugly, and who feel that they are not normal...I think it's so important that women look like me find that they can be beautiful or objects of love, attention and affection.

Sometimes I aid into the confusion by having my character's name be my name.

I have a thick skin, which comes from being a not-really-skinny, dark-skinned Indian woman. I haven’t fit in every place, and so I’m kind of used to resistance.

I am a super-confident writer, and as a joke writer and as an actress, I'm like, 'I want to go head-to-head with every person.' I am an Indian woman and I'm a kind of double minority in this world.
