I hated L.A. for a long time, and I wanted to leave it. I had these fantasies of going to 'SNL' and falling in love with some writer on 'SNL,' of getting married and living in New York. ↗

I have a thick skin, which comes from being a not-really-skinny, dark-skinned Indian woman. I haven't fit in every place, and so I'm kind of used to resistance. ↗

I have such a rich fantasy life, I can't help it. I do make up a lot of romantic stories in my head. ↗

I love talking about clothes with women; it's like a code because women dress for women. ↗
