Mindy Kaling And Emma Thompson Give Advice To Women

[@rebeccaelliott9770]

I love how mutually respective they are of each other. Such a lovely warm chemistry

[@frolickinglions]

Yes, they seemed very respectful of each other and to get along well apart from when Mindy joked about Emma's relationship with Kenneth Branagh (as that relationship famously ended very badly).

[@Raphaelfa]

frolickinglions I actually think she meant Emma’s current husband (who was in Sense and Sensibility)

[@Rachel57567]

Rebecca Elliott mutually respectful not respective...

[@maggiewalsh3590]

Agreed

[@halflanding1900]

Absolutely. The way Emma looks at Mindy and how she puts her hand on her shoulder.

[@geegeezlouis86]

That curtain rod tip is one of the most savage things I've ever heard in my life holy shit Emma

[@charliespinoza1966]

You can also unscrew light switch plates and put dead fish in the walls. #collegepranks

[@magentakisses3856]

[@HafezZahruddinGardenandKitchen]

you can also open up teddy bear, put mince meat inside and re-stitch the bear, and give it to people you hate.

I love the way they actively listen when the other person is speaking. It shows mutual respect & the willingness to learn from each other. Didn't expect any less from these great women!

[@anvy2000]

@mysterychemistry There are different types of people in a dialogue, not everyone do the same thing.

[@anvy2000]

@mysterychemistry That's true. But you know, the world these days is so dark and negative that these small actions like complimenting people when they do something right, even for really trivial things, really makes me feel more optimistic :( So I'm sorry if that bothers you.

toxic friendships are never talked about in a healthy way! Love this video for addressing it in such a thoughtful way!

[@MaleOrderBride]

Agreed! We only ever hear about Toxic Lovers...but it is much more common to have a Friendship turn sour. The women have good advice. It is better to just slowly stop hanging out with the friend as much than a huge Screaming Match!

[@agathasancarlos288]

“ you have to be self reliant” - that got me

[@kitty6720]

She's right though. Self-reliance is important. I wish I'd known that earlier.

[@bhumphries1360]

I've taught this to my daughter! I told her to not depend on others in order to get by in life. For things like...money, happiness, success and security. If you depend on someone 100% for things like this.....you WILL get disappointed!! I'm raising her to be a strong, independent, and hard working young woman!! You create your own happiness!!

I turned 21 yesterday and this was actually one of the most valuable birthday presents I received, I kind of needed to hear some of these things. Thank you Mindy and Emma for the wise words 💗

[@carmenjazz5546]

Girl, I'm 34 and still need these life lessons... 🤣

[@leilathecuttlefish]

I feel like this shouldn’t be just advice to women but advice to everybody. Their words are brilliant.

[@catprowlin3451]

I heard that story about the prawns in the curtain rod. Supposedly it was done by a woman divorcing a guy who took up with a "newer model". He kept the house in the settlement. When they couldn't get rid of the smell, they put the house up for sale and the ex-wife bought it back for much less than it was worth. Not endorsing this action at all. It might be an urban legend.

[@sapphoslips]

I cannot believe I found this on the internet. Inspiring! Can we please have more women who take their intelligence, talent and integrity seriously in the Entertainment Industry!!!!

[@caskettsolo7925]

3:50 is MEME/Gif- worthy! Loved how Mindy brought up Kenneth and Greg up- found an opportunity and grabbed it!🤣 All praise Dame Emma Thompson 🙌🏼🙌🏼 These two are amazing. Hope they work together again!

[@cisbetterthanyou6658]

This was great! I love when celebrities actually answer the questions genuinely .. and not just gloss over them and make a joke of it.

[@KRLEEQ]

The toxic friendship thing really hit me, I did exactly what Mindy said, I drifted away, but I still always think about my good friend and the amazing times we had....the good ones.

[@misss.7863]

I also did that, and there are times I wonder if what I did, which was tantamount to "ghosting", was the right way to end that friendship. However, I suppose "cold silence" would be more bearable than an emotional confrontation.

[@sabasiddique8891]

Has Emma ever written a book? Her advice is incredible and I now want her with me in every situation so she can help me through it. what a wonder!

[@srestha]

Uh someone pls explain to me why Emma Thompson wasn't cast as Mary Poppins ever

[@reemahmed2104]

I think she did Nanny McPhee at a time when no one thought of remaking Mary Poppins..so it's like confusing a bit if she ever were to be cast as Mary Poppins any time later I guess.. sad ikr 💔💔

[@srestha]

@@reemahmed2104 she even played Mary Poppin's author in Saving Mr. Bank's. But I've always wanted her to play Mary Poppins so bad. Emily Blunt is amazing and she did a great job, but this woman is other-worldly.

[@margo3367]

A little revenge there at the end! I loved this. The best advice I ever received was when I was in my 20's and I was talking to an older woman about aging or something and she said essentially, don't fight the changes as you get older but accept them and keep on going.

[@jocelyn8814]

As someone who has stopped writing and now just trying to get back into it, I'm so glad they answered that question!

[@jvphilip]

Lovely advice for not just women, but for men too... Being a gay man, some of those advice resonates a lot with me... Though, what Mindy said about women needing to make their work speak for themselves, is true, but it also puts undue emphasis on women to be meritorious, when men who are lame just become more successful! Unfair world!

[@winterkeptuswarm]

As women (and queer people -- I am one), when we get into positions of power, we must change these spaces by giving opportunities and space to other hard-working deserving people who have been overlooked. 💗 In the meantime, we have to keep fighting to succeed, for ourselves and our communities. We got this.

[@zoe.r9361]

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Emma Thompson is an inspirational badass

[@corgonzaga327]

The best advice from Dame Emma is Be self reliant... and putting prawns into a curtain rod! 😁

Definitely not cookie cutter advice, they are keepin it real!

I love the chemistry and mutual respect between these two wonderful women! I've recently absolutely fell in love with Dame Emma, she is truly a gem and her words here are so beautiful and wise and I could listen to her for hours and hours and just never get bored!

I love Emma so much! But it's always been a bit weird to me that she's routinely introduced as a "two-time Oscar winner" without mention of the relevant fact that she's literally the only person in the history of film to win Oscars for both screenwriting AND acting. And speaking of that acting Oscar... Howards End is a gorgeous film adaptation of a gorgeous novel. But lovely as it, and everyone involved, is, Emma's performance really is transcendent. And that transcendence is only magnified by interviews like this, which reveal how very dissimilar she is from her Oscar-winning portrayal of Miss Schlegel. She's just that good.

[@markallen4356]

It must be wonderful loving an actress who gives One performance in such a long career.

[@BrokeredHeart]

"As a teenager in 2019, how do I not succumb to peer pressure but also not come off as lame?" Emma: "That's like saying how do you live." lol! A word of advice from a random internet stranger: ignore it all. You've spent the last 18/19 years of your life trying to fit in, because public school and high school reject the different. Everybody is expected to arrive at the same destination, so you have to have the same grades, the same hobbies and interests, the same direction in mind. But once you get to graduation, you're going to find that you don't have to fit in, anymore. You don't have to abide by what other people find "cool" or do what teachers and parents expect of you. And you're going to find a whole gaggle of other people out there who are just as hungry to get out there and be exactly who they always wanted to be, but just felt like they never could be. Maybe you're into sports and that was always frowned upon. Maybe your thing is math, but it was always considered too nerdy to keep friends. Maybe you're a homebody, and you have no desire to take part in parties and organized social events. Maybe you enjoy working late hours because you feel a sense of accomplishment. Maybe you prefer video games and cosplay, or you want to get into music and theatre, or just read and write all the time, or whatever. Nobody can tell you what's cool, or place their own expectations on you. You are always going to find other people who have things in common with you, if you go out looking for them and if you reach out to them. So find what you love, get involved with the things that give you joy, and forget about what other people think about you, because there's no sense in pleasing everybody else if it's making you feel miserable. True friends will stand by you for who you are, and those are the kinds of people who would never pressure you into doing something you aren't comfortable with.
