12 Mindy Lahiri Quotes From 'The Mindy Project' That Will Help You Channel Your Inner Beyonce Pad Thai
If you watch Mindy Kaling's Fox comedy The Mindy Project, you're probably already the tiniest bit obsessed with Kaling's character and creation, Mindy Lahiri and all of her quotes to live by. (I know that I am, if by "the tiniest bit obsessed" I mean full-blown, no holds-barred obsession, which, obviously, I do.) Mindy, aka "Dr. L" to her colleagues, is easily the character I relate to the most on television. She's pop culture obsessed, she thinks that wearing workout gear out on the town likens her to Keira Knightley, and she never turns down frozen yogurt. She's basically my spirit animal, and I have a feeling that I'm not the only one who identifies more with Lahiri than any other character on TV.
In honor of The Mindy Project's already amazing third season, here are 12 quotes from Mindy Lahiri that will help you channel your inner Beyonce Pad Thai.
