All I want to do is be a gay icon. I was reading Lady Gaga’s twitter, because she has like 12 million followers, or something like that. I feel like she has fans, gay, straight, bi, who would throw themselves off a building for her.
I always knew I wanted kids, but when my mom passed away I was like, ‘I want a bunch of kids. I want three kids or four kids, and I want to have that relationship again.’ I can’t bring my mom back, but I can have children.
Truthfully, I guess I would like to be remembered as a great writer and a kind person. I wouldn’t mind if an expensive bag were named after me, like Jane Birkin.
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.
I don’t need marriage. I don’t need anyone to take care of all my needs and desires. I can take care of them myself now.
I don’t consider myself a fashion person, I consider myself a shopping person. As a person who has girlie interests and a little bit of disposable income.
I want a schedule-keeping, waking-up-early, wallet-carrying, picture-hanging man. I don’t care if he takes prescription drugs for cholesterol or hair loss.
Running is a quick trigger for a good mood. The great thing about endorphins, you don’t have to be in great shape to get them.
This is extremely challenging when you sound like a 12-year-old girl, and you decide your first personal endeavor is to play, like, a – like, a very macho dude.
That’s my advice to people. You can’t get hung up on thinking, “Am I the victim in this situation?” No, I’m in charge of it.
I’m Adorable. I Look like Keira Knightley Running Errands!
My understanding of the way sex scenes work is that you’re surrounded by crew, and you’re cold, and you have to do it eight times ’cause they didn’t get the lighting. It doesn’t sound pleasant, but you think that actors actually enjoy it?
Because confidence is like respect; you have to earn it.
I’m too excited to sleep!
I’m not overweight. I flucuate between chubby and curvy.
I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd. I didn’t have a ton of academic skills. It wasn’t until I was in high school that I was like, “I guess I like writing dialogue.” So that’s how I got into it.
I’m not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn’t good at sports, I wasn’t good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.
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.
If I gave my mother a knitted scarf she’d be worried I was wasting my time doing stupid stuff like knitting instead of school work. Presenting a homemade knitted object to my parents was actually like handing them a detailed backlog of my idleness.
If it weren’t for my imagination, I would weigh ten thousand pounds. This is because the only way I am able to exercise anymore is through a long and vivid revenge fantasy.
