The head of the International Rescue Committee and former British politician also answered important questions about David Cameron, Assad, and One Direction.

International Rescue Committee CEO David Miliband came into BuzzFeed News' offices on Friday to talk about the ongoing refugee crisis alongside former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

"David Beckham."

"Manchester United."

"David Cameron."

"Jeremy."

"Assad."

"Oreos or Jammie Dodgers?"

"What do you think of One Direction since Zayn left?"

"What city that you've visited had the worst transit system?"

"If you could be cast in any Shakespeare play, what would it be?"

"If you could be in the Cabinet of any British prime minister, which would it be?"
