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 Im doing and I can do a lot of variations. A lot of times, when I record with a group, Ill stay after class for another hour or two. – 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
Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and thats 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. Its a high-class problem, but its real. – Hank Azaria
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
