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.

More quotes by 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
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
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 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
When you become deeply involved with someone, their problems become yours, and vice versa. It's family.
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
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
Women are, in general, less shallow visually. If their man gains 10, 20 pounds, they don't care as much.
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
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
I've always been a fan of plain writing. I hate metaphor-laden, heavily larded, lyrical writing.
Hank Azaria
I'm very happy I get to keep working - it's an insanely fortunate thing.
Hank Azaria
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
That's a true actor's nightmare: Improvise in British sign language. Go.
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 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
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
Even trying it as an actor, I never thought I'd actually make it.
Hank Azaria
Godzilla's a monster for the '90s. He's been working out.
