You just try to be true to your idea of what is funny and what is also interesting.
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.

There are so many low points with stand-up. You are perpetually humiliated, so it doesn't really matter anymore. I don't have any dignity left to lose. An audience can’t hurt you anymore when you’ve been completely dismantled.
John Oliver
If your name is Sepp, at the bare minimum you’ve strangled someone in a bar fight.
John Oliver
I care about facts the way I care about oxygen and imbibing enough water a day to live.

John Oliver
Believe it or not the war on Iraq is based on a sound scientific principle, The bee hive principle. Which clearly states that if you are stung by a bee, you should follow it back to its nest and then proceed to beat nest to a pulp with a baseball bat until the stripey little turd has learned its lesson.
John Oliver
If you’re asking me, would I have voted for Mitt Romney, the answer is absolutely not. Emphatically not. I cannot envision a world in which I would have voted for Mitt Romney unless I sustained a massive concussion.
John Oliver
I get nostalgic for British negativity. There is an inherent hope and positive drive to New Yorkers. When you go back to Britain, everybody is just running everything down. It's like whatever the opposite of a hug is.
John Oliver
I'm British. I don't really have access to my emotions on a daily basis.
John Oliver
Anybody who claims to be excited for April Fools' Day is probably a sociopath.
John Oliver
There are two kinds of hecklers: the destructive and constructive hecklers.
