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.

More quotes by Judd Apatow
The only way you survive on all these services is if you're groundbreaking. There's pressure to be groundbreaking, which is the greatest thing that's ever happened. It's a bizarre aspect of what's happened with all of these subscription services is everyone is trying to outdo each other by doing great things.

'Deadwood.' I could have watched that forever.
Judd Apatow
I'm always talking to people. It's not that complicated. I just find somebody and say, Do you have any ideas. If they do, we just start thinking things around.
Judd Apatow
You have to write a lot of scripts to get any scripts that are worth making.
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
It would be so irresponsible not to speak up. I don't know what I would do in my home and in my life if I didn't rant a little bit and as thoughtfully as I can with some humor.
Judd Apatow
If we really talked about what's wrong with you, you'd need a 7-1/2-hour movie and nobody would know what category to put it in!
Judd Apatow
So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.
Judd Apatow
I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.

I used to tour a little bit with Jim Carrey and help him out on his first Showtime special.
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
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
If you make a bad movie about stand-up, then comedians will mock you for the rest of your life.
Judd Apatow
There are only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.
Judd Apatow
I'm always surprised when you do something very different that people don't get behind you more, because you're always told, Take chances! Stretch! And when you do it, sometimes people get really supportive and excited, but sometimes people go at you because you've tossed out the formula.
Judd Apatow
If you develop 10 things, and you can get two or three made, that's a very high ration.
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
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'm just trying to be truthful and collaborate with people who have interesting things to say.
Judd Apatow
Deer are like dogs. Except for Bambi, they're pretty personality-less.
