'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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Let's be real: more often than not, Hollywood does not have three-dimensional characters for women to play.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I'm obsessed with the Fenty beauty line. It's like, finally, women of color get good makeup.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are two of the most charming A-listers in Hollywood.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Seriously, show me a person who's not into Tom Hanks, and I'll show you a person who is anti-happiness.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Making tough decisions that may make someone unhappy is something to get good at doing.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
People like to pretend that all women have the same experience or that all gay people have the same experience. But everyone's life is different, and everyone's point of view is valid.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I think people just don't respect women's bodies in general, the bodies of women of color in general.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
'2 Dope Queens,' it was just a way for us to showcase female comedians, showcase comedians of color, showcase LGBT comedians, and shake up the landscape and be like, 'Hey, there is more than just what is out there.'
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
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.'
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Anyone who does stand-up comedy can agree that doing a late-night spot is a dream of theirs.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Any joke can be funny, but not any joke is funny. Any joke has the potential to be hilarious to you, but more importantly, the joke has the potential to not be funny to you but to someone else.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
At its best, alt comedy can be challenging, surprising, and innovative. And at its worst, alt comics think that being awkward.com/FAQS is a substitution for punchlines.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
There are just so many brilliant voices out there. I'm not the funniest person out there, I'm not the best interviewer. I'm not the best at anything, but I really just am a big fan of everyone. I'm really driven by trying to make sure that representation is out there.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
As a kid I used to always write these stories... some of them were really cute; some of them were kind of crazy.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I think, at the end of the day, you have to decide what you want. Do you want to be famous? Do you want to be rich? Do you want to have a career? Those are three very different things.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I thought I was going to be a serious screenwriter and produce serious films. It was going to be 'American Beauty' and very important work.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I want to have an empire. I like being in front of the camera, performing - but I would like to get to a place where I'm also executive producing and bringing other people along. People of all different walks of life, highlighting their voices.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I started watching 'Daria' when I was in college because I didn't have cable growing up. It's such a smart show with a different type of female character.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Being in a male-dominated industry, you can feel like a little excluded. That was making me feel like maybe I'm not funny. I was really seriously considering, like, quitting standup.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. I was the only black girl in my grade. And I was just, like, really dorky. Like, I wasn't cool.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I've experienced harassment. I've had male comedians be very inappropriate.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Typically, in New York, there are so many comics on a single lineup that you can only do eight minutes.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I think anytime you work on something, even if you feel really good about it, you're never really sure. Once it's in the public space, it's out of my hands.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
Sometimes in stand-up, you want that late-night set where you get that five minutes, then you want a half-hour special, and then the crown, if you will, is an HBO special.
Quote by -Phoebe Robinson
I have watched every single season of 'American Idol' since the beginning, when Ryan Seacrest co-hosted with Brian Dunkleman. Brian who? Exactly.
