Quote

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.

I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.
Judd Apatow
Image
I used to bug all of the comedians for interviews, and when people want to talk to me, sometimes I'm very receptive and sometimes I say no. Sometimes if I say no, I think, If they're smart, they'll figure out how to not accept this no.

Every time I perform in front of people, no matter how well it goes, the next day, I feel humiliated.

Image
I still feel like a weird kid who is about to take a punch in the face. So, I think it's permanent.

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.

If we really talked about what's wrong with you, you'd need a 7-1/2-hour movie and nobody would know what category to put it in!

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.

Deer are like dogs. Except for Bambi, they're pretty personality-less.

Nobody's going to like my next movie because they liked Trainwreck [2015]. It has to work on its own, and that keeps it really scary.

Image
I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog.

You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
Judd Apatow
Image
If you work on network TV, they want to pick your casts, dictate your story and how your show works. It just becomes creativity by committee, which is never good.
Judd Apatow
Image
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
Image
People like everything to work out, and anytime you don't make everything work out perfectly, you really are fighting against what most people are going to the movies for, especially in the summer.
Judd Apatow
Image
If you make a bad movie about stand-up, then comedians will mock you for the rest of your life.
Judd Apatow
Image
It would be so irresponsible not to speak up. I don't know what I would do in my home and in my life if I didn't rant a little bit and as thoughtfully as I can with some humor.

Image
I remember the review from Michael Wilmington in Chicago, and Gene Siskel wrote really smart reviews where I thought, Oh, they totally get what we're attempting to do.
Judd Apatow
Image
I very rarely made any move to direct anything. I didn't have any faith in myself.

Image
I worshipped guys like Bill Maher, Jay Leno, and Jerry Seinfeld, and was doing my variation of that. But as a young person with no political point of view or life experience, it was as funny as you can imagine.

'Deadwood.' I could have watched that forever.
