More quotes by 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
Godzilla's a monster for the '90s. He's been working out.
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
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
When you do well in a movie that's seen as really great, you're revitalized for six weeks.
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
Even trying it as an actor, I never thought I'd actually make it.
Hank Azaria
When you're on a series that's been cancelled, there's a little bit of a stink on you.
Hank Azaria
I've always been a fan of plain writing. I hate metaphor-laden, heavily larded, lyrical writing.
Hank Azaria
I've done literally 100, 150 different characters.
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
Just watching Jack Lemmon made me want to get into this business.
Hank Azaria
In gay culture hookups are a way of escaping your class.
Hank Azaria
I've been doing silly voices since I was a child.
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
There's no experience like on-the-job training.
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 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 guess for me the greatest injustice is to see people robbed of that interiority and process of association.
Hank Azaria
