TV Squad interviews Mindy Kaling of The Office

Joel Keller of TV Squad has a great interview with The Office's Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly on the hit comedy television show. Here's an excerpt:

JK: What was your reaction when they decided to bring the background characters into the fore? Because now you're all full-fledged cast members.

MK: Right, it was so exciting, especially when Kelly started turning up and being a chatterbox; that was great. And how she sort of is oppressive to Ryan and desperately in love with him; I mean, that's all really fun to play. I think there's nothing more fun to playing a character than to play utter puppy dog, undying love for someone who is only lukewarm about them.

But her (Kelly's) outfits are like the worst ever, in a good way. I think they're brilliantly horrifying.
