I put a tremendous amount of pressure on myself. I felt like I shouldn't have to audition for anything and all that. And that energy did not serve me at all.

You know those award shows. The cliche is that it's an honor just to be nominated, but that happens to be true. Whoever wins it in the end, I don't know, sometimes it feels arbitrary. Sometimes it feels like it's deserving.

Image
That's a true actor's nightmare: Improvise in British sign language. Go.
Hank Azaria
Image
I've done literally 100, 150 different characters. Some of them have only appeared for a line or three. But the point is, every sound I can make has been harvested.
Hank Azaria

I'm very happy I get to keep working - it's an insanely fortunate thing.
Hank Azaria

I've always been a fan of plain writing. I hate metaphor-laden, heavily larded, lyrical writing.

In my cranky old age, I actually prefer recording alone now, on 'The Simpsons,' for example, because I find that the director can just focus on what I'm doing and I can do a lot of variations. A lot of times, when I record with a group, I'll stay after class for another hour or two.

Even trying it as an actor, I never thought I'd actually make it.

It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.
