More quotes by 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
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.

In my work, there is a lot of storytelling. The storytelling is not a new thing. Back in the [Howard] Thurston days, the [Harry] Houdini days, the [Harry] Blackstone days, it was stories, but the stories were, We're going to the Egyptian temples, and we're going to vanish the Prince of Thebes, and, On my last trip to the Orient ...

So many people are in comedy because of difficult mothers or broken homes.
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 used to scream at everybody at the beginning of my career. I'd get really emotional. I'd project all my issues about my parents and safety onto the executives, so every conversation where they gave a note was life or death and you don't love me.

I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.

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 only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.
Judd Apatow
I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog.
Judd Apatow
Nowadays, when kids decide they like an artist, they'll absorb everything that artist has ever done in a single night.
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 hear Amy Schumer on Howard Stern, and I think, I wish there was a movie that starred her, because she's so interesting, and then at some point I go, I guess I have to get involved, because it's not happening right now. Maybe I should help try to make that happen.
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
If anything is leaking, I try to plug the hole.

Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.

The great thing about Eminem is, he's just hysterical. You forget, people like Eminem because he is riotously funny. And he's a great actor.
Judd Apatow
For a long time, TV was just the land of handsome, beautiful people, and now it's the opposite.
Judd Apatow
I didn't want to be a director for hire. It really just took me a long time to learn how to direct and to feel up to the job.
