More quotes by Hank Azaria

Image
I've always been a fan of plain writing. I hate metaphor-laden, heavily larded, lyrical writing.
Hank Azaria
Image
Historically, there would always be people among the general population who had family members, friends, cousins who'd done time or who'd been in prison.
Hank Azaria
Image
I've done literally 100, 150 different characters.
Hank Azaria
Image
Just watching Jack Lemmon made me want to get into this business.
Hank Azaria
Image
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.
Hank Azaria
Image
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.
Hank Azaria
Image
Association bring you into the larger world of other people and things. Not having that is a kind of prison, a prison of such a limited consciousness, of such a limited frame of reference and association.
Hank Azaria
Image
Being funny with a funny voice is more my comfort zone, a broader character that I try to humanize, a kind of silly or wacky persona that I try to fill in.
Hank Azaria
Image
As an actress, you're living something through the duration of the play and its geography. I've always seen writing the same way. It's like somehow I'm moving through the terrain of the book as a performer.
Hank Azaria
Image
You can't be funny for funny's sake. You try to get as outrageous situation as you can but it always has to be believable and based in real character motivations and what people would really do.
Hank Azaria
Image
Women are, in general, less shallow visually. If their man gains 10, 20 pounds, they don't care as much.
Hank Azaria
Image
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.
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
Image
It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.
Hank Azaria
Image
I'm very happy I get to keep working - it's an insanely fortunate thing.
Hank Azaria
Image
A lot of times, when I record with a group, I'll stay after class for another hour or two and go, 'Let me try a bunch of things I was thinking of, as you were doing that.'
Hank Azaria
Image
When you become deeply involved with someone, their problems become yours, and vice versa. It's family.
Hank Azaria
Image
I tend to not watch things that are current. And then if everybody swears it's amazing then I'll like watch the whole series in a weekend.
Hank Azaria
Image
Women are, in general, less shallow visually. If their man gains 10, 20 pounds, they don't care as much. But I've been with women over the years when my weight fluctuated, and they're definitely more interested physically when I am in really great shape.

Politics is topical - it's what's happening now, and we can either respond in the present or avoid it.
