Hank Azaria

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
It's not really difficult to go from one voice into the next.
Hank Azaria
I guess for me the greatest injustice is to see people robbed of that interiority and process of association.
Hank Azaria
