More quotes by Judd Apatow
The little details really connect for people in ways I never realized before.I think that's why some of the movies have done well, because people are relating to things that I'm willing to expose.
Judd Apatow
I've come to believe that the simpler the title, the better. Whenever I try to get cute with it, it seems to be a problem but if it's just The 40-Year-Old Virgin, people seem to know what they're in for.
Judd Apatow
When I was very young, I started to make friends with much, much older people. So when I was twenty, my friends were fifty, and I never really went through forty because I would watch them die and I would feel younger. So you make friends with older people and you will always feel young no matter what.
Judd Apatow
A lot of times, it's easy to trim the movie 'cause you just start losing things that you thought would be there just for amusement's sake that actually are not funny. My favorite part of the process is seeing it with an audience. I do about eight previews to see how things are working.
Judd Apatow
Right when I started getting solid was when I was offered a lot of writing work. And when The Ben Stiller Show was picked up, I realized there was no way for me to do stand-up three or four nights a week and run this television show with Ben. So that was the moment when I had to make a choice.

College is the reward for surviving high school. Most people have great fun stories from college and nightmare stories from high school.
Judd Apatow
No matter how much you love someone, on a bad day, you could say something terrible. All of the little things that you are saving to say, that you're mad about but never express, sometimes come out, all at once. We all have these terrible moments. That's just part of being human.
Judd Apatow
If you make a bad movie about stand-up, then comedians will mock you for the rest of your life.
Judd Apatow
You have to write a lot of scripts to get any scripts that are worth making.
Judd Apatow
Sometimes a story idea will come to me, and suddenly I've figured out the whole thing, and I feel like I'm collaborating with something other than myself.
Judd Apatow
Deer are like dogs. Except for Bambi, they're pretty personality-less.
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.
Judd Apatow
I was a guest on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld, and I interviewed him when I was 15 years old-those moments really blow your mind.
Judd Apatow
One of my fears is that I'm suddenly not going to be funny, but still think I am. That's like my nightmare that I can wake up in a cold sweat from.
Judd Apatow
The great thing about Eminem is, he's just hysterical. You forget, people like Eminem because he is riotously funny. And he's a great actor.
Judd Apatow
Every joke is an experiment. When you sit, alone, and write a script, or just a joke, you really have no idea if it will succeed.
Judd Apatow
The thing that ruined your life makes you good at your work. And then you get rewarded at work, so you don't bother to fix it in your life.
Judd Apatow
When the entire country was watching one show there was a major discussion happening is it possible for that to happen in a 1 million channel universe?
Judd Apatow
I think people like Lena Dunham really opened up the door to what was possible, and they've inspired young women to go into filmmaking and writing and directing and acting in a way that maybe they didn't before, because now there is a path and there are jobs.
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.
