More quotes by Judd Apatow
I feel the responsibility to make things which on some level have something positive to say.
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
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
The ones [comedies] that I always liked, whether it's Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, or Fast Times of Ridgemont High, they were all about two hours, or a little bit over two hours. With that extra 15 or 20 minutes, you can get to real character and you're not just stuck in plot.
Judd Apatow
I definitely learned to embrace the quiet moments onstage from Garry Shandling - relaxing and not fighting with the crowd, not raising your voice, not ever trying to win them over.
Judd Apatow
I wrote for Roseanne. I wrote her stand-up act with her. I wrote with Tom Arnold. There was a period when I was working with them pretty steadily. But I would take brief gigs here and there.
Judd Apatow
I very rarely made any move to direct anything. I didn't have any faith in myself.
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
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
You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
Judd Apatow
So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.
Judd Apatow
I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.
Judd Apatow
I was in the recording studio when Pink was recording for a part of the gay rights anthem. It was just amazing to watch her perform. She's just such an incredible singer. She so funny, and so smart, yet she's doing it for this silly, silly song.
Judd Apatow
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.
Judd Apatow
People talk about universal intelligence ... I'm reticent to believe almost anything, just because my parents weren't religious at all, but that's when I feel it. People talk about being in the flow.
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
When I notice that all the beats sound exactly the same, it starts to wear on me.
Judd Apatow
I'm just trying to be truthful and collaborate with people who have interesting things to say.
Judd Apatow
I always thought that Seth [Rogen] was a fun, caustic, bombastic, sweet, underdog-type of person that I would root for the way you used to root for Bill Murray or John Candy in Stripes. Seth had something that very few people you encounter have: he had a writer's mind and he had his own comic point of view.
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
