A remarkable thing about me is that the time that elapses between a sad thought and a flood of tears is three or four seconds.

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.

My mother is more of an adviser. I followed everything she did when I was younger, because I looked up to her so much.

Maybe the point is that any marriage is work, but you may as well pick work that you like.

What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.

I don't want to be skinny. I'm constantly in a state of self-improvement but I don't beat myself up over it.

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