Mindy KalingWalt had a seat-of-the-pants approach on what he wanted musically. We kind of 'read' the boss and had a very high batting average, but there were occasions when he felt we had just written the wrong piece for the situation he wanted.

You canโt let outside expectations keep you from following your own heart.
