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.'

More quotes by Hank Azaria
Just watching Jack Lemmon made me want to get into this business.
Hank Azaria
It's not really difficult to go from one voice into the next. It's like asking you to sing a line of Happy Birthday and then Goodnight Irene - assuming you know the words to both those songs
Hank Azaria
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
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've been divorced and I had to get back out there be single again and do some of that in the genuinely miserable state where you really do wonder what the hell is going on. And you feel like trying to have casual conversation with someone you don't know on the surface of the moon or something.
Hank Azaria
It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.
Hank Azaria
When you become deeply involved with someone, their problems become yours, and vice versa. It's family.
Hank Azaria
Even trying it as an actor, I never thought I'd actually make it.
Hank Azaria
I'm very happy I get to keep working - it's an insanely fortunate thing.
Hank Azaria
There's no experience like on-the-job training.
Hank Azaria
I did a lot of theater in college, and I knew that not many people make it, but I just figured, 'Well, I really want to try acting while I'm young, and I don't ever want to look back and say that I never gave it a try.' I fully figured I'd be back in grad school - probably for psychology.
Hank Azaria
Guys will definitely settle for women who get the joke. But a woman who can make you laugh? It's not high on a guy's must list. Perhaps it should be.
Hank Azaria
That's a true actor's nightmare: Improvise in British sign language. Go.
Hank Azaria
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
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
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
It's not really difficult to go from one voice into the next.
Hank Azaria
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
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
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.
