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.

More quotes by 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
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
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.
Hank Azaria
Even trying it as an actor, I never thought I'd actually make it.
Hank Azaria
That's a true actor's nightmare: Improvise in British sign language. Go.
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.

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.
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've done literally 100, 150 different characters.
Hank Azaria
Godzilla's a monster for the '90s. He's been working out.
Hank Azaria
I joke that my niche in Hollywood has been naked foreigners.
Hank Azaria
I guess for me the greatest injustice is to see people robbed of that interiority and process of association.
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
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
When you're on a series that's been cancelled, there's a little bit of a stink on you.
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
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
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
