Mindy Kaling _ Why Not Me?
POP STAR: Oh, that's so great. I'm really looking for someone young and cool. My last guy had really antiquated ideas. ME: Asha is the best. And very young and cool.

Mindy Kaling _ Why Not Me?
So much of college is girls labeling other girls terrible things when they don't like their behavior, but using concerned language so they have plausible deniability if they get accused of being bitches: That girl is not cheerfully doing what the rest of us are doing, so she is probably "depressed" or "has an eating disorder" or "is weird with guys," and so on.

Did I think I deserved a nomination? I don't know, yeah! Maybe it sounds egotistical, but if you're a person who creates your own show and stars in it, shouldn't you believe you deserve recognition for it? If you don't, then why not? Worse yet, who will?
