More quotes by Judd Apatow
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
Some stories feel like they need more time or less time to tell. To not obsessively have to trim or add that final two or three minutes is very helpful, because you can just organically follow how the story feels.
Judd Apatow
Sometimes, something seems dead, and then out of the blue, someone just figures out the way to fix a script and it goes.
Judd Apatow
Sometimes you need to get away for a few weeks just to figure out who you are again.
Judd Apatow
If you make a bad movie about stand-up, then comedians will mock you for the rest of your life.
Judd Apatow
I don't really get attached to anything. I'm pretty brutal about cutting stuff. With each successful movie, I've discovered anything that's not connected to the immediate story is going to be cut out of it.
Judd Apatow
I always see other people as predecessors and admire them.
Judd Apatow
When people lose their jobs, they can either get another job or be entrepreneurs. In the music industry, a lot of people have attempted the latter by starting their own labels, but in the age of digital downloads, it's very difficult to succeed.
Judd Apatow
There are people that entertainment is something they do at the end of a long hard day at work, and they want to be entertained and have it over quickly. They're like, Entertain me fast!
Judd Apatow
Nobody's going to like my next movie because they liked Trainwreck [2015]. It has to work on its own, and that keeps it really scary.
Judd Apatow
Just trying to tell the truth about, you know, the struggle of - being alive is funny, it's just inherently tragic and also hilarious - in a fun way and in a sad way. That seems to connect with people.
Judd Apatow
When I was very young, I started to make friends with much, much older people. So when I was twenty, my friends were fifty, and I never really went through forty because I would watch them die and I would feel younger. So you make friends with older people and you will always feel young no matter what.
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
I've come to realize that people connect more when they know you're telling them the truth or some aspect of your story, some mutated version of how you are experiencing this life.
Judd Apatow
I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.
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 literally cannot remember one joke.
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
The first comedians I became fascinated with were the Marx brothers. I couldn't get enough of them. Later in life, I thought, Well, maybe it's because they were so rebellious and they were just flipping the bird to society and all the rules we're supposed to follow. They were saying that none of it is fair.
Judd Apatow
A lot of the turning points happen in high school and in college, and it defines a lot of how you see the world and how you decide to defend yourself from the world. Some people - their defense mechanism is, I'm really smart or I'm sexy or I'm the leader. And other people - they hide or they make jokes.
