More quotes by 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
I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.
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
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
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 loved the idea that I could write a joke and someone else would have to take the risk of performing it.
Judd Apatow
If you develop 10 things, and you can get two or three made, that's a very high ration.
Judd Apatow
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.
Judd Apatow
It was always the most fun thing in the world to think of a joke area and talk about it with someone like Jim Carrey, and then he would get on stage fearlessly and tear the house down. That's something I always enjoyed. It also allowed me to not be terrified.
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
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 love the Lonely Island. I wish there was more Lonely Island movies.
Judd Apatow
You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
Judd Apatow
A lot of times, it's easy to trim the movie 'cause you just start losing things that you thought would be there just for amusement's sake that actually are not funny. My favorite part of the process is seeing it with an audience. I do about eight previews to see how things are working.
Judd Apatow
I was a guest on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld, and I interviewed him when I was 15 years old-those moments really blow your mind.
Judd Apatow
When you're making your 20th movie, it might be the 20th most incredible thing that's ever happened to you!
Judd Apatow
I don't want to be ordinary. I'm willing to do the work. I'm willing to suffer the indignities of comedy because I want to be great. I don't want to just be good. I want to be great.
Judd Apatow
The only thing worse than a crappy TV show which Paddy Chayevsky couldn't have conceived in his worst nightmare is two megacorps fighting over who thought of the crappy show first.
Judd Apatow
I used to tour a little bit with Jim Carrey and help him out on his first Showtime special.
Judd Apatow
You have to write a lot of scripts to get any scripts that are worth making.
