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.

More quotes by Hank Azaria
Women are, in general, less shallow visually. If their man gains 10, 20 pounds, they don't care as much.
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
I just really committed to trying to never repeat myself. I'd seen actors do that on films, and I was, like, I wanna try that once! Ultimately, I'm much more in the school of getting one or two versions that feel right, as opposed to going all over the map. But it's fun to exercise that once in awhile.
Hank Azaria
Even trying it as an actor, I never thought I'd actually make it.
Hank Azaria
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
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
In gay culture hookups are a way of escaping your class.
Hank Azaria
I think the reason the Golden Age of television is so golden is because a lot of folks are willing to let creators do their thing and live or die by their own muse. They certainly allow us to do that.
Hank Azaria
Politics is topical - it's what's happening now, and we can either respond in the present or avoid it.
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
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
It's not really difficult to go from one voice into the next.
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
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
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 joke that my niche in Hollywood has been naked foreigners.
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.
Hank Azaria
Just watching Jack Lemmon made me want to get into this business.
Hank Azaria
Godzilla's a monster for the '90s. He's been working out.
