Quote by Mindy Kaling
I have a great job writing for 'The Office,' but, really, all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. I'll put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is, like, Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean.
Summary

The speaker, possibly a writer for 'The Office,' suggests that writing for television is seen as less prestigious compared to the film industry. They emphasize this by pointing out that at the Oscars, a well-known Hollywood actor like Angelina Jolie commands the attention, whereas at the Emmys (television awards), reality TV star Bethenny Frankel is considered a major celebrity. The quote captures the aspirations and perceptions of television writers longing for the recognition and status associated with writing for movies.
