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
I'm British. I don't really have access to my emotions on a daily basis.
John Oliver
The disconnect between America and its military is shocking.
John Oliver
It's pretty physically unsettling, living life on a visa.
John Oliver
I can't relax. I find vacations problematic.
John Oliver
I feel more at home knowing I'm not really at home. It takes all the pressure off you trying to fit in!
John Oliver
Politics has become infused with narcissism in America.
John Oliver
Armando Iannucci is one of my heroes. As I was growing up, he was probably the most influential comic voice that I had.
