John Oliver (II)

[On the United States of America] John Oliver: It does seem a shame that some of the most wonderful things this nation was built on – free speech, a questioning of authority, and non conformity have somehow been twisted into being labeled 'Un-American'.

[On if there's any issue he'd like to personally tackle] John Oliver: I will tackle any issue. I see myself very much as the Reggie White of satire. If any issue tries to run through me, I will smack that [expletive] down before dancing arrogantly over the now unconscious issue shouting 'not in my house, baby'. I have made myself the promise that my work at The Daily Show will not be done until I have tackled every issue known to man and three others.

[His perception of the United States before he moved here] John Oliver: My political perception of the US was similar to that of the rest of the planet which was 'what on earth are you doing?' To paraphrase Oscar Wilde; 'To elect him once was unfortunate – to elect him twice was un-[expletive]-believable'.
