More quotes by Judd Apatow
It's so funny, all the similarities that we have [with David Copperfield] of being obsessed young people and finding a way to be around the people doing what we want to do.
Judd Apatow
I feel the responsibility to make things which on some level have something positive to say.
Judd Apatow
As a kid, I was obsessed with the Who. They were the most important band to me. Songs like I'm One helped me get through high school.

Penn [Jillette] and Teller and I get along very well. We can call each other and say, I'm working on this classic effect. Please, I'd like to do it for a while. We'll all respect it. There are people we don't get along with, but mostly there is a respect amongst the group.
Judd Apatow
College is the reward for surviving high school. Most people have great fun stories from college and nightmare stories from high school.
Judd Apatow
A lot of the turning points happen in high school and in college, and it defines a lot of how you see the world and how you decide to defend yourself from the world. Some people - their defense mechanism is, I'm really smart or I'm sexy or I'm the leader. And other people - they hide or they make jokes.
Judd Apatow
You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
Judd Apatow
The first comedians I became fascinated with were the Marx brothers. I couldn't get enough of them. Later in life, I thought, Well, maybe it's because they were so rebellious and they were just flipping the bird to society and all the rules we're supposed to follow. They were saying that none of it is fair.
Judd Apatow
I don't want to be ordinary. I'm willing to do the work. I'm willing to suffer the indignities of comedy because I want to be great. I don't want to just be good. I want to be great.
Judd Apatow
Some people are probably saner. They're good performers, and they go about their day. I just get obsessive about it.
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
You can do weird things on TV - there are happy stories, sad stories, dark stories. But with a movie, it always has to end satisfying. Unless you're the Coen brothers, and it ends with somebody getting shot in the head.
Judd Apatow
If anything is leaking, I try to plug the hole.
Judd Apatow
I very rarely made any move to direct anything. I didn't have any faith in myself.
Judd Apatow
I was in the recording studio when Pink was recording for a part of the gay rights anthem. It was just amazing to watch her perform. She's just such an incredible singer. She so funny, and so smart, yet she's doing it for this silly, silly song.
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
It's funny, now there are so many bands that I can never remember any of their names. Maybe it's because I'm old.
Judd Apatow
For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.
Judd Apatow
People are disappearing from movies, and normal human behaviour is disappearing from movies... You are not always fighting a creature in life. That's part of life, it's a pretty big part of life, but it's not all of life.
Judd Apatow
Nowadays, when kids decide they like an artist, they'll absorb everything that artist has ever done in a single night.
