More quotes by John Oliver
I guess the tone of jokes is often, at best, irreverent, but it always comes from a place of deep love.
John Oliver
Teenagers falling off skateboards - funny. Nut shots - funny. Breaking wind - funny. The world cannot change those. Those three things are columns upon which humor is built.
John Oliver
You just try to be true to your idea of what is funny and what is also interesting.
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
Drug companies are a bit like high school boyfriends - they're much more concerned with getting inside you than being effective once they're in there.
John Oliver
In improv, the whole thing is that it is a relationship between the two people, as a back and forth. In standup, you don't really want to be listening to what somebody is saying you want to project your jokes into their face.
John Oliver
Everybody should care about facts. That is something all of us should agree on.
John Oliver
The moment I accept that there's an artistic, redeeming quality in puns, I have a horrible feeling I'll get hooked.
John Oliver
I'm British. I don't really have access to my emotions on a daily basis.
John Oliver
When you're dealing with serious subjects, there is a pressure to be absolutely sure that you know what you're doing.
John Oliver
There are two kinds of hecklers: the destructive and constructive hecklers.
John Oliver
I did sketch comedy, but I never did improv. So I've just tried to learn as I go.
John Oliver
A Southern accent is not a club in my bag.
John Oliver
I care about facts the way I care about oxygen and imbibing enough water a day to live.
John Oliver
I don't think I'm identified as the anchorman, I think I'm identified as the impostor anchorman - there's a very clear line there ... I don't think it changes the way they respond.
John Oliver
I watch one news channel until my soul can't take it anymore. It's the background of my life.
John Oliver
I think Americans still can't help but respond to the natural authority of this voice. Deep down they long to be told what to do by a British accent. That's why so many infomercials have British people.
John Oliver
Veterans' issues are quite close to my heart. I find it quite hard to talk about, actually.
John Oliver
I've always been interested in socially political, or overtly political, comedy.
John Oliver
When I heard that Hitler had problems with flatulence, it's funny. What - does that make him a funny man? No. It means he had funny moments when his rear end was speaking louder than his mouth.
John Oliver
