More quotes by Judd Apatow
I started a radio show where I interviewed comics. And I interviewed Leno and Seinfeld and John Candy and Father Guido Sarducci and Garry Shandling, all when I was 16. And they kind of told me what to do.
Judd Apatow
I am always driven by the terror of humiliation.
Judd Apatow
If you develop 10 things, and you can get two or three made, that's a very high ration.
Judd Apatow
Every time I perform in front of people, no matter how well it goes, the next day, I feel humiliated.
Judd Apatow
I thought the idea Jim [Carrey] had, which was to do a comedic version of movies like The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and Unlawful Entry, was really funny. The movie was a little lighter when we first came on, a little more like What About Bob? or something.
Judd Apatow
The ones [comedies] that I always liked, whether it's Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, or Fast Times of Ridgemont High, they were all about two hours, or a little bit over two hours. With that extra 15 or 20 minutes, you can get to real character and you're not just stuck in plot.
Judd Apatow
Back in the old days, everyone was shocked if a band had a sponsor for their tour. Now, Bob Dylan can do a commercial for Victoria's Secret and people don't really blink the Beatles' songs are in all sorts of commercials these days and it doesn't seem to offend anybody. The times are changing.
Judd Apatow
If anything is leaking, I try to plug the hole.
Judd Apatow
When I notice that all the beats sound exactly the same, it starts to wear on me.
Judd Apatow
There's something so scary about trying out new material and being completely comfortable jumping into the abyss with a comedic idea.
Judd Apatow
Back then, you seemed like a crazy person when you were trying to push the boundaries of network TV. People looked at you, and they were offended by the fact that you didn't follow the generic rules of what was expected on network TV.
Judd Apatow
I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.
Judd Apatow
People like everything to work out, and anytime you don't make everything work out perfectly, you really are fighting against what most people are going to the movies for, especially in the summer.
Judd Apatow
There are only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.
Judd Apatow
I'm making a movie about relationships, and I'm surrounded by guys scared of talking to girls.
Judd Apatow
Most people are really fighting to not be adults. And, when it happens, it's a big transition. And a lot of that is just awful. It's awful to have to get a job and really be responsible for other people. And it is funny, too. Like, we're all kind of little idiot kids trying to act like we know what we are doing.
Judd Apatow
I always see other people as predecessors and admire them.
Judd Apatow
I loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.
Judd Apatow
I love when people work together who know each other very well. Some of my favourite movies are people who are close friends or families.
Judd Apatow
Sometimes, something seems dead, and then out of the blue, someone just figures out the way to fix a script and it goes.
