I definitely learned to embrace the quiet moments onstage from Garry Shandling - relaxing and not fighting with the crowd, not raising your voice, not ever trying to win them over.

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 don't really get attached to anything. I'm pretty brutal about cutting stuff. With each successful movie, I've discovered anything that's not connected to the immediate story is going to be cut out of it.
Judd Apatow
I used to tour a little bit with Jim Carrey and help him out on his first Showtime special.
Judd Apatow
It was always the most fun thing in the world to think of a joke area and talk about it with someone like Jim Carrey, and then he would get on stage fearlessly and tear the house down. That's something I always enjoyed. It also allowed me to not be terrified.
Judd Apatow
Humor is his defense mechanism, so that would allow me to talk about some serious subjects, but get a lot of hilarious jokes in.
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'm getting older, so how people face grave circumstances is of interest to me. And you meet a lot of people who are very courageous, and it doesn't reek of something funny to write about, but I always think that the higher the stakes, the bigger the laughs can be, and the more emotional the scenes can be.
Judd Apatow
People like the comedy more when they care about the characters.
Judd Apatow
We are at this weird moment where there's an economic model that supports creativity. People are demanding something new and fresh.
Judd Apatow
I used to scream at everybody at the beginning of my career. I'd get really emotional. I'd project all my issues about my parents and safety onto the executives, so every conversation where they gave a note was life or death and you don't love me.
Judd Apatow
I often say that ... I'm just involved in comedy, so I can be around it.
Judd Apatow
It's funny when people debate about music, because they get so passionate about what they enjoy.
Judd Apatow
You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
Judd Apatow
The only thing worse than a crappy TV show which Paddy Chayevsky couldn't have conceived in his worst nightmare is two megacorps fighting over who thought of the crappy show first.
Judd Apatow
I'm just trying to be truthful and collaborate with people who have interesting things to say.
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
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
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
When you're making your 20th movie, it might be the 20th most incredible thing that's ever happened to you!

[My] dream writers room: 'Taxi.' I need to write for someone named Judd.
