More quotes by Judd Apatow
You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
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 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
Every joke is an experiment. When you sit, alone, and write a script, or just a joke, you really have no idea if it will succeed.
Judd Apatow
If you make a bad movie about stand-up, then comedians will mock you for the rest of your life.
Judd Apatow
Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.
Judd Apatow
It's funny, now there are so many bands that I can never remember any of their names. Maybe it's because I'm old.
Judd Apatow
I always feel like I'm very far from my potential.
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
Television is much more difficult because at every moment, the network can force you to change things based on their belief about what would make it popular. You’re in a constant debate with a gun to your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it’s hard to win the arguments.
Judd Apatow
Right when I started getting solid was when I was offered a lot of writing work. And when The Ben Stiller Show was picked up, I realized there was no way for me to do stand-up three or four nights a week and run this television show with Ben. So that was the moment when I had to make a choice.
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
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
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
As a kid, I was obsessed with the Who. They were the most important band to me. Songs like I'm One helped me get through high school.
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
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
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
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 very rarely made any move to direct anything. I didn't have any faith in myself.
Judd Apatow
