I just try to be true to myself and write about things I'm passionate about. I think what most people don't like about movies is they can tell that most movies are a product, and they don't mean that much to the people who make them.

More quotes by Judd Apatow
Some stories feel like they need more time or less time to tell. To not obsessively have to trim or add that final two or three minutes is very helpful, because you can just organically follow how the story feels.
Judd Apatow
I always see other people as predecessors and admire them.
Judd Apatow
I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.
Judd Apatow
I'm always surprised when you do something very different that people don't get behind you more, because you're always told, Take chances! Stretch! And when you do it, sometimes people get really supportive and excited, but sometimes people go at you because you've tossed out the formula.
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
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
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
Parents don't realize that when they teach you about the Holocaust too early, it ruins you for life.
Judd Apatow
When you're making your 20th movie, it might be the 20th most incredible thing that's ever happened to you!
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 think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.
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
I love the Lonely Island. I wish there was more Lonely Island movies.
Judd Apatow
I remember the Time review [on the Hit and Run]said that there wasn't one laugh in it. And I had watched the movie 50 times with audiences, and it always played great. There was certainly a moment where you could tell the audience was like, Wow, this is really getting weird.
Judd Apatow
It seems like magic is something kids start really young.
Judd Apatow
Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.
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
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 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 hear Amy Schumer on Howard Stern, and I think, I wish there was a movie that starred her, because she's so interesting, and then at some point I go, I guess I have to get involved, because it's not happening right now. Maybe I should help try to make that happen.
