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.

Comedy is subjective, and any joke can be funny.

I never really watched much stand-up growing up. I just was not really that into it. But I can say I honestly fell in love with it the second I touched the microphone. It was like this weird thing where it's like, 'Oh, yeah, this is what I'm supposed to do.'

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

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

Not going to lie: when I heard that Toni Braxton's sister, Tamar, wanted to have a music career, I was skeptical. I know she sang backup for Toni and is a great reality-TV star, but being a musician is a whole 'nother league. Well, Tamar proved me wrong.

The 'X-Men' franchise has not been a perfect one.
Phoebe Robinson -
Let's stop acting like a man who is clear about his intentions, is open to love, and has a good head on his shoulders is 'boring,' 'lame,' and 'not passionate like the edgy guy.'
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.

I try to read 20 books a year.
Phoebe Robinson -
If the guy does not treat you with love and respect, does not cease-and-desist with all the game playing, is not willing to share his world with you, then he is bad for you.

A lot of times in comedy, and also in podcasting and television, there are different kinds of voices that can be celebrated. So you can have 'Insecure' exist, you can have a '2 Dope Queens' exist, you can have 'The Mindy Project' exist - very distinct, funny voices from women and from people of color.
Phoebe Robinson -
I never really thought of comedy as a career. My goal was, when I moved to New York, I was going to write serious films.
Phoebe Robinson -
It is utterly asinine that people continually go to comedy shows without bothering to see if their sensibilities line up with the comedians.
Phoebe Robinson -
I love doing standup, but I love watching it more. Watching people like Michelle Buteau or Baron Vaughn get up and do their thing - that is what comedy can be like.
Phoebe Robinson -
I've experienced harassment. I've had male comedians be very inappropriate.
Phoebe Robinson -
Anyone who does stand-up comedy can agree that doing a late-night spot is a dream of theirs.

I think people just don't respect women's bodies in general, the bodies of women of color in general.
Phoebe Robinson -
I'm fabulous on a budget.
Phoebe Robinson -
I have to admit that I was never into the boy band craze of the late '90s and the early aughts. I was into more adult things like Ricky Martin. For reals.
Phoebe Robinson -
It's better to keep your past and present loves separate.
