For me personally, I was just worried that transitioning from a podcast, which is a very intimate sort of experience - people tell me they listen to my podcast while they're at the gym or on road trips, so you're in someone's ear - to being on television - that's a lot of space to fill.

I'm really into short-story collections and essays; they're my jam.

I'm going to keep doing the comedy and the art that I do. I'm going to keep uplifting marginalized voices, and I think that's my place to do that.

I know the world is pretty intense, but in my opinion, there's nothing more perilous than being a teenager and watching a raunchy comedy with your parents.

There's so many careers that didn't happen because women are like, 'I can't deal with this harassment. I'm going to leave this industry.'

Seriously, show me a person who's not into Tom Hanks, and I'll show you a person who is anti-happiness.

I don't really read Stephen King - I just can't read scary things because it stays with me too long - but I truly liked his memoir of the craft of writing.

I'm obsessed with the Fenty beauty line. It's like, finally, women of color get good makeup.

Just like anyone else, I watch a lot of reality TV yet will turn my nose up at some of it, e.g., ABC's 'Splash,' because I think I'm above it.

It's better to keep your past and present loves separate.

Let's be real: more often than not, Hollywood does not have three-dimensional characters for women to play.

'SNL' has always been known for its ability to skewer politics, and the circus that was Palin's bid to be Vice President was ripe for parody.

One of the things I love about 'Idol' besides the drama, the backstories, and the crazy arrangements on popular songs is the auditions, when everyone is full of hope and nerves.

Men Love Hope

Just because you're not like other people doesn't mean that you're bad. It means that you're different, and that's great.

I really like a red lip as my go-to when I go out.

I'll be the first to admit it: I love fluff. Whether it's watching 'America's Next Top Model' or listening to dance pop like Rihanna's 'Where Have You Been,' I like to keep it light and fun, especially during the spring and summer months.

Phoebe Robinson

Love You Whether

I love how most people in 'Sixteen Candles' don't actually look their age. It adds to the movie's funky and low-budget vibe.

Technology has been the great equalizer: you can find your audience, you can build your brand, and the people that are into you, great. They're going to follow you to whatever platform you go to.

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are two of the most charming A-listers in Hollywood.

Sometimes it's good to act responsibly.

With '2 Dope Queens,' with stand-up, and also with 'Sooo Many White Guys,' the interview stuff that I do, I really am a fan first.

Phoebe Robinson

Even the best comedians aren't always sure what is going to be funny, what is going to work. So that means they're constantly and trying and failing in order to get there.

Phoebe Robinson

What's important is to have more women creators behind the scenes, being producers and being in charge. That will ultimately help push this boys'-club, locker-room mentality out the door.

For me personally, I was just worried that transitioning from a podcast, which is a very intimate sort of experience - people tell me they listen to my podcast while they're at the gym or on road trips, so you're in someone's ear - to being on television - that's a lot of space to fill.

Arcade Fire always churns out music that makes me want to move.

Phoebe Robinson

I just wanna go on the record to say I talk about U2 so much, I should be their publicist. I should be added to the PR team. U2 is my favorite band of all time. I love them so much.

Phoebe Robinson

I like hot people being hot. How else do you explain my high school infatuation with Ricky Martin in all his shirtless glory?

Flashback episodes are a tried-and-true sitcom device, but they always work!

I love sending flowers! It's the best.

Guys say 'like' all the time, and no one notices it.

It's just a wild experience to have thousands of people stand up and cheer for you.

I was a funny kid growing up, and I did improv in college and went to Pratt Institute, but I did it very informally. It was just me and some of my friends goofing around on campus.

Phoebe Robinson

As scary as it is, we have to admit that there are folks in the world who only know the Roots as 'the band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.''

Phoebe Robinson

I'm a sucker for two things: Adam Lambert and songs that start out as emo as a sad episode of 'Felicity' and then drop. That. Beat.

If I have a daughter and she grows up to be an astronaut, she's gonna end up on a Black History Month stamp.

I love how Shakespeare can really rip your heart out one second and then make you laugh the next. He's a master writer.

The great thing about being a standard-issue, straight white person is you have so much time. Gay people, people of color, we have less time! We have to be a living Learning Annex to everybody. We don't have time to master hobbies like skipping rocks along lakes.

I am a workaholic - my family will agree with that.

Spending $40,000 on shoes is downright ignorant.

I'm easily frightened and am somewhat of a squeamish person.

The 'X-Men' franchise has not been a perfect one.

Say what you want about Maroon 5 not making music like the kind found on 'Songs About Jane,' the fact remains that they know how to write a really good pop song that highlights lead singer Adam Levine's falsetto.

Phoebe Robinson

One of the great things about 'The Voice' is that all the judges sing their own hits, as well as covers, and do duets with each other.

Phoebe Robinson

Normally, I'd believe that the saying 'There's no small parts, only small actors' is a load of crock because, more often than not, actors relegated to the small-part category stay in 'Who was that guy from that thing' purgatory - however, '90s sitcom 'Friends' proved that the saying is true.

Phoebe Robinson

The Roots know how to give their audience some medicine without them even realizing it.

Phoebe Robinson

'Ain't It Fun,' which is about entering the real world, is bouncy and shows off Paramore's lighter side, to the dismay of some of the band's fans, who are used to the punk-rock sound.

I am a grizzly New Yorker.

I don't think people realize what it's like for people of color to audition for film and TV.

Feminism is being broken open, to welcome more people than just white women of a certain class.
