More quotes by 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 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.
Judd Apatow
My way of dealing with the world has always been to make fun of it and observe it but not take part in it.That's how I became a writer. But when you have kids, suddenly you have to be part of things. It leads almost to a breakdown because your whole defense mechanism is now really destructive.
Judd Apatow
I am always driven by the terror of humiliation.
Judd Apatow
So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.
Judd Apatow
I feel the responsibility to make things which on some level have something positive to say.
Judd Apatow
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!
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
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
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
I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.
Judd Apatow
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.
Judd Apatow
I get literally a physical sensation of low self-esteem that is a result of not engaging the world and getting comfortable that way.
Judd Apatow
It's so funny, all the similarities that we have [with David Copperfield] of being obsessed young people and finding a way to be around the people doing what we want to do.
Judd Apatow
If anything is leaking, I try to plug the hole.
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
People like the comedy more when they care about the characters.
Judd Apatow
I still feel like a weird kid who is about to take a punch in the face. So, I think it's permanent.
Judd Apatow
I don't think it matters what the frequency is of me writing or directing a movie. It doesn't really matter to anybody else. I'm just trying to put good things out there.
Judd Apatow
For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.
