Mindy Kaling, Who Created Her Own TV Show And Now Has A Movie Out With Emma Thompson, On Being A ‘Diversity Hire’

Kaling was initially embarrassed about that when she was on The Office, but she’s over it. And now, as a 39-year-old movie writer, she says, “It does feel amazing to have done this, but I’ve worked so hard to get here, so it’s not a big surprise. A journalist asked me if I have impostor syndrome and I said: ‘I actually don’t, because I’ve really put in the time.’ And I could tell he thought I was kind of cocky.” – The Guardian (UK)
