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.

More quotes by Judd Apatow
I wrote for Roseanne. I wrote her stand-up act with her. I wrote with Tom Arnold. There was a period when I was working with them pretty steadily. But I would take brief gigs here and there.
Judd Apatow
I feel like it's a golden age for television.
Judd Apatow
Sometimes you need to get away for a few weeks just to figure out who you are again.
Judd Apatow
I feel like Superbad and Freaks And Geeks are somewhat timeless. That's always gratifying, when you feel like 30 years in the future, people will still get it, and it won't seem creaky. It won't come across like The Incredible Mr. Limpet.
Judd Apatow
I am always driven by the terror of humiliation.
Judd Apatow
It's funny when people debate about music, because they get so passionate about what they enjoy.
Judd Apatow
People like the comedy more when they care about the characters.
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
I have a four-and-a-half-year-old and, when she was two and a half, she would make my wife and I do voices, like Woody and Jessie the Cowgirl, or Elmo, or Yogi Bear and Booboo. If we didn't do it, she would scream at us. So, my wife and I would have adult conversations as Yogi Bear and Booboo. It was just a nightmare year.
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.
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 bring people on to the movies to type and to help punch up and look at things. But a lot of it is, you want fun people to be around, to put you in a good mood, to try and access your creative place.
Judd Apatow
The moment you think of a joke is the best moment.
Judd Apatow
So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.
Judd Apatow
I like working with people on their first movies. I think that you never get that level of effort again. And I think that most people only have a couple of amazing stories from their lives, so you're getting the best of them.
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
Every time I perform in front of people, no matter how well it goes, the next day, I feel humiliated.
Judd Apatow
Television is much more difficult because at every moment, the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You’re in a constant debate with a gun to your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it’s hard to win the arguments.
Judd Apatow
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
You have to write a lot of scripts to get any scripts that are worth making.
