“There are two kinds of hecklers: the destructive and constructive heck...” — John Oliver Quote

“There are two kinds of hecklers: the destructive and constructive hecklers.”

“People really have come for a dialogue when they go to a stand-up show in the U.K. They say, 'I understand that you have now finished your little comedy monologue; now I have something to say regarding what I've just heard.”

“You don't really know when stand-up material is TV ready; it's just at what point you're willing to let it go and not work on it anymore. I'm not sure there is a point at which you think: 'And that is finished.'”

“I like constructive criticism from smart people.”

“I've not hidden and I'll never hide the fact that I want Scotland to be an independent country. But as long as we're part of the Westminster system, it's really important to people in Scotland that we get good decisions coming out of Westminster. So we've got a vested interest in being a constructive participant.”

“I've never seen a constructive Social Security debate that started with one side digging in, in one place and another side digging into another.”
