I loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.

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.

We are at this weird moment where there's an economic model that supports creativity. People are demanding something new and fresh.

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.

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.

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.

Nowadays, when kids decide they like an artist, they'll absorb everything that artist has ever done in a single night.

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
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
Image
So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.

In terms of the emotional underpinning, if you've been in relationships, you understand what's happening.

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 like when people are very passionate about what they want to write about. Even if it's silly, you can be very passionate about it.

I used to scream at everybody at the beginning of my career. I'd get really emotional. I'd project all my issues about my parents and safety onto the executives, so every conversation where they gave a note was life or death and you don't love me.

I used to tour a little bit with Jim Carrey and help him out on his first Showtime special.
