I've always been a fan of plain writing. I hate metaphor-laden, heavily larded, lyrical writing.

Hank Azaria 61 quotes

I say with pride that I've do...

I say with pride that I've done over a hundred voices or something, and some of them may have only had two or three lines, but I literally never ran out. I think I'm a bit of a savant that way. I kind of remember every voice I hear, famous or otherwise, and can imitate it pretty fast. I've enjoyed mimicking people famous and not famous all through my life, and they kind of remain in the memory banks, so I'm ready to trot them out.

Association bring you into th...

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 61 quotes

I put a tremendous amount of ...

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.

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.

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.

There's no experience like on-the-job training.

Being funny with a funny voice...

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 61 quotes

You can't be funny for funny's...

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 61 quotes

I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor. I just really, really amused myself and my friends with memorizing entire George Carlin or Steve Martin albums.

Hank Azaria 61 quotes

You know, I was a huge fan of ...

You know, I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor.

Hank Azaria 61 quotes

Getting over someone is a grie...

Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and that's only expedited by 'Out of sight, out of mind.' But when you walk outside and see them on a billboard or on TV or on the cover of a magazine, it reopens the wound. It's a high-class problem, but it's real.

The craft Emmys are kind of the kids' table at Thanksgiving. You're not really invited to the big dance. It's still really, really exciting, and the statue still counts.

It's always impressive when talented comedians are easy laughers or generous with their laughs.

Bart [Simpson] gets away with doing the things we all wish we could get away with.

I always hoped for a show that was realistic and provocative and moving and funny. And to me, it's exceeded those expectations ... not to mention the people who have climbed aboard to join in it. As a creative endeavor, it's been the greatest experience of my life.

I've been doing silly voices since I was a child.

Just watching Jack Lemmon made me want to get into this business.

It's not fashion, it's passion.

The first two months I imagined Godzilla, ... Then I got bored of that and I imagined different things. What if my agent was that big? What if my dog was that big?
