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.

More quotes by Judd Apatow
Deer are like dogs. Except for Bambi, they're pretty personality-less.
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
Some people make movies and think, Well, I'll just keep asking for more money if this isn't enough. And then there are other people, like Clint Eastwood, who always come in under budget.
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 a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.
Judd Apatow
I think we all have a love/hate relationship with the media.
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
[My] dream writers room: 'Taxi.' I need to write for someone named Judd.
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.
Judd Apatow
I thought the idea Jim [Carrey] had, which was to do a comedic version of movies like The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and Unlawful Entry, was really funny. The movie was a little lighter when we first came on, a little more like What About Bob? or something.
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
Every time I perform in front of people, no matter how well it goes, the next day, I feel humiliated.
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
So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.
Judd Apatow
It's so funny, all the similarities that we have [with David Copperfield] of being obsessed young people and finding a way to be around the people doing what we want to do.
Judd Apatow
I always felt as a kid that I was underappreciated, invisible or weird, but I've always secretly thought people would one day appreciate what is different about me. I'm always putting that message out there.
Judd Apatow
I remember the review from Michael Wilmington in Chicago, and Gene Siskel wrote really smart reviews where I thought, Oh, they totally get what we're attempting to do.
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 think a lot of studios today are run by women, and we are entering a time when a lot of women have evolved in Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade and wanted to become writers and comedians.
Judd Apatow
I'm getting older, so how people face grave circumstances is of interest to me. And you meet a lot of people who are very courageous, and it doesn't reek of something funny to write about, but I always think that the higher the stakes, the bigger the laughs can be, and the more emotional the scenes can be.
Judd Apatow
