If you develop 10 things, and you can get two or three made, that's a very high ration.

More quotes by Judd Apatow
I always see other people as predecessors and admire them.
Judd Apatow
When Jim Carrey signed on to star in [The Cable Guy], and then they asked me to produce it, I made a very brief plea to direct - which was rejected really as quickly as anything can be.
Judd Apatow
The only way you survive on all these services is if you're groundbreaking. There's pressure to be groundbreaking, which is the greatest thing that's ever happened. It's a bizarre aspect of what's happened with all of these subscription services is everyone is trying to outdo each other by doing great things.
Judd Apatow
I think a lot of studios today are run by women, and we are entering a time when a lot of women have evolved in Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade and wanted to become writers and comedians.
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 have a four-and-a-half-year-old and, when she was two and a half, she would make my wife and I do voices, like Woody and Jessie the Cowgirl, or Elmo, or Yogi Bear and Booboo. If we didn't do it, she would scream at us. So, my wife and I would have adult conversations as Yogi Bear and Booboo. It was just a nightmare year.
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
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
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
There's something so scary about trying out new material and being completely comfortable jumping into the abyss with a comedic idea.
Judd Apatow
Back then, you seemed like a crazy person when you were trying to push the boundaries of network TV. People looked at you, and they were offended by the fact that you didn't follow the generic rules of what was expected on network TV.
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
I often say that ... I'm just involved in comedy, so I can be around it.
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 started a radio show where I interviewed comics. And I interviewed Leno and Seinfeld and John Candy and Father Guido Sarducci and Garry Shandling, all when I was 16. And they kind of told me what to do.
Judd Apatow
A lot of bands that are great disappear a little bit faster than they used to. They don't get as much support for the long haul. You have to be pretty tough to hang in there.
Judd Apatow
Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.
Judd Apatow
I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog.
Judd Apatow
I like human comedies - or dramedies. More than anything, I'm interested in people just dealing with everyday things that are difficult, and there is more than enough comedy and drama in that.
Judd Apatow
People are disappearing from movies, and normal human behaviour is disappearing from movies... You are not always fighting a creature in life. That's part of life, it's a pretty big part of life, but it's not all of life.
Judd Apatow
