1. I grew up in Boston, I work in the Valley and my parents are Indian; yet I can't do these accents to save my life.

3. If I drive by a long line in front of a store, I have to stop to find out what's going on.

6. If I wasn't on The Office, I would do a reality show called Hot Truant Lady Officer where I drive around in a van making kids go to school.
