More quotes by John Oliver

John Oliver

John Oliver
My family is from Liverpool, so I have some of those vowel sounds, I've got the slack tone of someone from Birmingham, and then I was raised in Bedford, which is just north of London. So my accent, if it's possible, makes even less sense to a Brit than to an American.

John Oliver
Once you learn how to make people laugh, then you get to choose exactly how you want to make them laugh.
John Oliver
It's exciting to have a role in anything that's Claymation, just because you're always intrigued by what a clay wizard version of yourself would be.
John Oliver
I feel non-stop Brit shame!
John Oliver
Being a Mets fan is like lending someone a lot of money and you just know that you'll never get paid back.
John Oliver
I did sketch comedy, but I never did improv. So I've just tried to learn as I go.
John Oliver
One thing that America is objectively exceptional at is overreacting whenever anyone accuses them of not being exceptional.
John Oliver
I knew I was going to go into the field and make fun of people to their faces. I knew what I was getting into.
John Oliver
You're sonically racist, Americans. You think we all sound the same, whereas I have definitely a mongrel accent.
John Oliver
I watch one news channel until my soul can't take it anymore. It's the background of my life.
John Oliver
