More quotes by Judd Apatow
For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I'm trying to communicate I'm not done.
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
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
Just trying to tell the truth about, you know, the struggle of - being alive is funny, it's just inherently tragic and also hilarious - in a fun way and in a sad way. That seems to connect with people.
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 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
Back in the old days, everyone was shocked if a band had a sponsor for their tour. Now, Bob Dylan can do a commercial for Victoria's Secret and people don't really blink the Beatles' songs are in all sorts of commercials these days and it doesn't seem to offend anybody. The times are changing.
Judd Apatow
If anything is leaking, I try to plug the hole.
Judd Apatow
I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog.
Judd Apatow
I was listening to Tommy Chong talking about how he feels like there is like a creative flow happening and how certain people just know how to hook into the pipe. He played music with Jimi Hendrix and felt that he was personally connected to some higher intelligence or creativity.
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
If you make a bad movie about stand-up, then comedians will mock you for the rest of your life.
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 feel like it's a golden age for television.
Judd Apatow
When the entire country was watching one show there was a major discussion happening is it possible for that to happen in a 1 million channel universe?
Judd Apatow
It's funny, now there are so many bands that I can never remember any of their names. Maybe it's because I'm old.
Judd Apatow
All of my jokes were about not being able to meet anybody. I didn't have any insight into anything - even my own insecurities.
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'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
It's funny when people debate about music, because they get so passionate about what they enjoy.
