"It's hard to make friends as an adult woman," said Kaling. "In L.A., the only people you meet are women in your spin class. You wonder what the motivations are, but you're so desperate for friends!"
Mindy Kaling is excited about her show's new home at Hulu.
"My TV show, which is the love of my life, has been through a lot of changes. … It's like being in a really rocky relationship — it's been more dramatic than any love life has been, this show that's about romance and dating." the Mindy Project creator and star excitedly reflected while previewing her upcoming book,Why Not Me? at BookCon on Saturday morning at New York City's Javits Center. "The writers' room is starting up on Monday!"
One major focus of the upcoming fourth season will be female friendship, since her character Mindy Lahiri doesn't have many of them. "It's hard to make friends as an adult woman. … In L.A., the only people you meet are women in your spin class. And you have to wonder, if a woman seeks you out at spin class, you wonder what the motivations are! But you're so desperate for friends. … It's much harder to find someone you want to talk to than a man you want to sleep with."
When a fan asked what Kaling has learned from her onscreen alter ego, the actress and author said, "She's so much smarter than me in some ways — she's a surgeon, and OB/GYN … but in some other ways, she's just a narcissistic, crazy, 25-year-old woman. Those two dials, I feel like a lot of us have those."
