“I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay.

“I don't mind that if I ever star in movies, they'll likely be mine. That's okay, because my great role models - Woody Allen, even Tyler Perry, who is actually one of my role models, even if that seems kind of strange - they do that themselves. And it's great.

I think it's 20 times more fun to act on a set where I feel the freedom to change the dialogue.” IfsThinkingFeelsMindKindSeemsFunStarsVoiceKnownRolesMinesStrangeModelsOkayDialogueEmpiresRole ModelsWoodyGreat Role Models Author:Mindy Kaling

“But Lunch Isn't That Bad, Really Once I get used to having to eat with two people instead of one. Two people who have known each other for such a long time that they practically speak in code. Two people who are always saying, "Remember the time when this happened?" and "Remember the time when that happened?" (Which, of course, I never do, because I wasn't there.)

“The measure of our mindfulness, the touchstone for sanity in this society, is our level of productivity, our attention to responsibility, our ability to plain and simple hold down a job. If you're still at the point when you're even just barely going through the motions--showing up at work, paying the bills--you are still okay or okay enough. A desire not to acknowledge sadness in ourselves or those close to us--better known these days as denial, is such a strong urge that plenty of people prefer to think that until you are actually flying out of a window, you don't have a problem.” PeopleIfsThinkingStillsEnoughProblemJobsDesireStrongSimpleAbilityLevelsAttentionResponsibilityKnownSadnessMindfulnessWindowOkayBillsProductivityFlyingPlentyDenialThese DaysAcknowledgeUrgesSanityShowing UpThis SocietyTouchstonesPlain And Simple Book:Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America Source: Prozac Nation: Young and Depressed in America
