Mindy Kaling's Night House

Mindy Kaling claims she has never seen her house during the day.

The 'Mindy Project' star admits she would love to spend more lazy days off at her cosy Spanish-style home in Los Angeles, but is far too busy.

She said: ''Being able to sleep for eight or nine hours after two Moscow mules - that's my feeling of happiness.

''I leave for work in the morning when it's dark, and I come back at night when it's dark, so I never get to see what my house is like during the day.

''I should have that [perfect] day more often, but then, I think the trade-off is that I get to have this dream job. I hire all my friends to come work on the show so it doesn't feel like 'work-work.' They help keep things in perspective for me.''

The 36-year-old actress also admits her friendship with ex-boyfriend BJ Novak is ''weird as hell'' and refuses to give her friends dating advice as a result.

She told PEOPLE magazine: ''No one needs a late bloomer in their mid-30s telling other people how to date.''
