Hank Azaria

Kind of, yeah.

I use this voice to play Thomas Edison in this latest thing, The Artist I Just Did, for the network, which they assure me is real.

I don't.

The simple answer to that question that I've learned after many years of therapy and program and recovery is that if I'm being kind to myself and calm about it, it goes in the realm of self-improvement and solution and how can I improve here.

What have been things you improved?

Almost every aspect of my life.

And my work.

Certainly my attitude to my ability to enjoy my work.

I think actually my effectiveness in my work.

I think I got better as an artist because I'm less all over myself and so much more willing to just try anything and see how it goes, including willing to fail.

Certainly I'm a kinder, calmer person and more compassionate.

You were more high strung at one point?

Yes.

I wasn't like a yeller, like take it out on you guy.

I would take it out on myself, but I was...

I was uptight and people felt that around me.

It was really great.

Do I still seem that way to you right now?

No, you don't.

Yeah, no.
