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.

More quotes by 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
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 often say that ... I'm just involved in comedy, so I can be around it.
Judd Apatow
I'm always begging people like James Brooks and Cameron Crowe to come to screenings, to see what they make of it, and they're always ridiculously helpful. They also keep me brave enough to commit to what I'm trying to do. They can be great cheerleaders for risk-taking.
Judd Apatow
Penn [Jillette] and Teller and I get along very well. We can call each other and say, I'm working on this classic effect. Please, I'd like to do it for a while. We'll all respect it. There are people we don't get along with, but mostly there is a respect amongst the group.
Judd Apatow
The moment you think of a joke is the best moment.
Judd Apatow
I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.
Judd Apatow
Sometimes a story idea will come to me, and suddenly I've figured out the whole thing, and I feel like I'm collaborating with something other than myself.
Judd Apatow
[My] dream writers room: 'Taxi.' I need to write for someone named Judd.
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
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
It's what I always dreamed of: that you can make TV and everyone would get out of your way and you follow your vision without watering it down.
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
Deer are like dogs. Except for Bambi, they're pretty personality-less.
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
Most people are really fighting to not be adults. And, when it happens, it's a big transition. And a lot of that is just awful. It's awful to have to get a job and really be responsible for other people. And it is funny, too. Like, we're all kind of little idiot kids trying to act like we know what we are doing.
Judd Apatow
I just try to be true to myself and write about things I'm passionate about. I think what most people don't like about movies is they can tell that most movies are a product, and they don't mean that much to the people who make them.
Judd Apatow
I feel like it's a golden age for television.
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
For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I'm trying to communicate I'm not done.
Judd Apatow
