| 45a8178 | The hardest thing in the world to understand is income taxes. | Albert Einstein | ||
| 01fd254 | I love to travel, but I hate to arrive. | Albert Einstein | ||
| 9cfe3b9 | As everyone knows, depressed people are some of the most boring people in the world. I know this because when I was depressed, people fled. Except my best friends. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 4cbd96a | Boys are broke. And when they do have money, they spend it on a trip to Colorado to see a music festival. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 90ca870 | Aspen was so expensive I was surprised it wasn't entirely populated with the children of Middle Eastern oil moguls. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 4ad266e | The truth is, if I were going to lose weight successfully, I would have to think about what I eat constantly. I cannot imagine a life more boring and a more time-consuming obsession than being preoccupied with watching what I eat. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 3291131 | In my thirties, I gained a sense of calm that came from professional stability and, although this is not backed by science, a general slowing of my metabolism, which is why I can gain seven pounds from eating one heavy dinner. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 01db946 | They're awful fears. They're sweat-through-your-nightgown-into-your-sheets fears. I don't wish them on any of you. But if you have them too, that makes me feel better. And if you feel better knowing that I have them, I'm happy. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 00dec25 | People get scared when you try to do something, especially when it looks like you're succeeding. People do not get scared when you're failing. It calms them. That's why the show Intervention is a hit and everyone loves "worrying about" Amanda Bynes. But when you're winning, it makes them feel like they're losing or, worse yet, that maybe they should've tried to do something too, but now it's too late. And since they didn't, they want to sto.. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 060f9ad | One of the great things about women's magazines is that they accept that drinking water and sitting quietly will make your breasts huge and lips plump up to the size of two bratwursts. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 265240b | Greta told me when I wore an outfit that was unflattering, which was how I knew she was real. And she would do it the best way anyone had ever given me an insult: "You have so much more to offer than that skirt. Find a skirt that deserves you." | Mindy Kaling | ||
| fbe059c | THOUGH I WENT to a very artsy private high school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I wasn't raised by parents with a liberal attitude toward alcohol. There was no whimsical "sip of wine at Thanksgiving" for us kids while we were still teenagers, like we were in a Noah Baumbach movie. That was for the cool Jewish kids. This was the Clinton era, and my parents were already worried about the moral deterioration of the country. So I drank skim milk.. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 0ccea89 | And when she's at the door, Mark stops her and he says, "I like you, very much. Just as you are." It's ridiculous that I love this so much. It's so simple. It's not a witty, perfectly phrased, Ephron-y declaration by our charming, neurotic hero. It's so ... plain. But the idea is the most beautiful thing in the world. So, obviously, it makes me cry." | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 5744b5b | So You've Just Finished Chelsea Handler's Book, Now What? | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 80d7e5f | I'm pretty happy with the way I look, so long as I don't break a beach chair. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 395c297 | While I chewed on my eleven brioche rolls, I saw the likes of Gen. David Petraeus, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, and that guy from Magic Mike, who also played a hot werewolf and was supposed to have a huge wang. It was an extremely glamorous night. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 0e31109 | but when you get older, if you reference your successes in high school too much, it actually makes you look kind of pitiful, like some babbling old Tennessee Williams character with nothing else going on in her current life. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| d7458c4 | and I went to Dartmouth to pursue my love of white people and North Face parkas. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 70209e9 | Thrown-Together Disaster Funeral is my new HGTV show. It's a makeover funeral show where three flamboyant gay guys and a judgmental sassy broad (think Wanda Sykes) crash a tacky funeral and fix it. Wanda's catchphrase is "Nuh-huh. Everyone out of this church. This funeral is a disaster." | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 7ef9ad7 | I laughed because, as everyone knows, laughing is a great way to disguise heavy breathing. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| e584ab5 | In an attempt to achieve the cheeky, gay-centric tone of the show, I had written a sample so over-the-top offensively gay that it actually reads like a propaganda sketch to incite antigay sentiment. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 1814ecd | Why didn't you talk about whether women are funny or not? I just felt that by commenting on that in any real way, it would be tacit approval of it as a legitimate debate, which it isn't. It would be the same as addressing the issue of "Should dogs and cats be able to care for our children? They're in the house anyway." I try not to make it a habit to seriously discuss nonsensical hot-button issues." | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 7f0d3f1 | my attitude toward alcohol was that it was a delicious and dangerous treat that, when obtained, needed to be ingested quickly in case someone tried to take it away. You know, the way a raccoon eats from a garbage | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 7c2955a | I cannot imagine a life more boring and a more time-consuming obsession than being preoccupied with watching what I eat. I | Mindy Kaling | ||
| bdf95a7 | I am a confident writer, a hothead, and have a very thin skin for any criticism. This charming combination of personality traits makes me an argument machine on our staff. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 288a182 | a honeymoon is, after all, a sex vacation you're giving yourself after a massive party in your honor. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 9561be9 | It's traumatizing to think that a best friend could become just a friend. That's because there is virtually no difference between an acquaintance and a friend. But the gulf between a friend and a best friend is enormous and profound. And | Mindy Kaling | ||
| c3dd688 | Hugh was in prime Jackman when he played smoldering Van Helsing. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| ffe2a2c | My family's dreams about a future unfettered by the limitations imposed by "who you know" and dependent only on "what you know" was possible only in this beautiful land. Their" | Mindy Kaling | ||
| e74ebbe | If you believe in yourself and work hard, your dreams will come true | dreams work | Mindy Kaling | |
| 036ec57 | we loved reenacting what we saw. The Church Lady's catchphrases were our catchphrases, and we repeated them until my mother said, exasperated: "Please stop saying 'Isn't that special?' in that strange voice. It is annoying to me and to others." At" | Mindy Kaling | ||
| ab1d809 | If you have never seen a flight attendant praying, I hope you never do, because it is one the scariest things in the whole world. Scarier | Mindy Kaling | ||
| d28b865 | That was the moment when I realized how cool my life is. I was trying to hit on a guy and was being interrupted by the president of the United States. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| e0ae4b1 | Hard work is such a weird thing. As children and teenagers you are told it's a really good thing, but for adults it suddenly becomes the worst thing in the world. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| b624301 | Throwing a tantrum feels good because you think you are ruining everyone's good time when you feel your very worst. But the truth is, you're not ruining their good time, you're just giving them another good story. I | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 8a92d08 | I think I love the scene because it reflects how love works. "Soul mates" is what you aim for, but soup snakes is what you get sometimes." | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 98642cc | We have to help our girls and teach them to be confident.' Well, guess what, young girls. You aren't damsels in distress. You aren't hostages to words of your peers. You aren't the victims that even your well-meaning teachers and advocates think you are. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| d2610da | I don't really like organizations where people are "deemed" things." -- | institutionalism organizational-culture sociology sororities | Mindy Kaling | |
| 6f3d0ca | I like to think of myself as the Rod Blagojevich of television. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 670b9b8 | Network executives usually have bad taste. It's either just a reflection of what market research tells them that normal people are into, or whatever their adolescent children are obsessed with. I have so often been on the receiving end of whatever powerful network executive's children are watching that week. That | Mindy Kaling | ||
| f014ccd | Later, when she got sick, B.J. came to Boston to visit her in the hospital, and he did something I will always be profoundly grateful for. He did for her what he had done for me when I was a nervous, homesick, heartbroken New York transplant hired on my first writing job on season 1 of The Office. He made her laugh. And that is why B.J. and I are soul mates, and the reason is ... because in terms of the soul, we like to ... That doesn't mak.. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 1128a73 | I can't for the life of me not eat something that I want to eat. You know how if you turned on a faucet in your sink to wash your hands, the idea of leaving the bathroom without turning it off is insane? That's how I am about ignoring delicious food | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 0687e94 | One very gratifying compliment I sometimes hear is that women want to be my best friend. This endlessly amuses my actual best friend, Jocelyn, because in her estimation I'm 'a good friend, but not that great. | humor | Mindy Kaling | |
| 2d9e327 | If you believe in yourself and work hard, your dreams will come true. * Well ... I guess the people who work hard whose dreams don't come true don't get to write books about it, so we never really find out what happens to them. So ... * If you believe in yourself and work hard, you have a fighting shot at having your dreams come true. | Mindy Kaling |
