Everybody should care about facts. That is something all of us should agree on.
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 would hate to meet myself at 15.
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'm always interested in audience interaction. Not so much aggressive audience interaction - I'm genuinely interested in how people see things.
John Oliver
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
Democracy is like a tambourine, not everyone can be trusted with it.
John Oliver
A Southern accent is not a club in my bag.
John Oliver
If you vote for Democrats, you might as well give Al Quaeda a death ray and a manual.
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
Once you learn how to make people laugh, then you get to choose exactly how you want to make them laugh.
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
Anybody who claims to be excited for April Fools' Day is probably a sociopath.
John Oliver
One thing that America is objectively exceptional at is overreacting whenever anyone accuses them of not being exceptional.
John Oliver
Australia turns out to be a sensational place, albeit one of the most comfortably racist places I've ever been in. They've really settled into their intolerance like an old resentful slipper.
John Oliver
I did sketch comedy, but I never did improv. So I've just tried to learn as I go.
John Oliver
I think being an outsider in general always helps you in comedy. I think it helps to have an outsider's eye. And so I have an outsider's voice. You know, as soon as I start talking, I don't belong here. And I think that helps in a way.
John Oliver
Campaign ads are the backbone of American democracy if American democracy suffered a gigantic spinal injury.
John Oliver
I'm British, so obviously I repress any powerful emotions of any kind in relation to anything.
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.
