Judd Apatow Quotes

I still feel like a weird kid who is about to take a punch in the face. So, I think it’s permanent Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve had movies bomb with terrible reviews, I’ve had movies make a lot of money with terrible reviews, I’ve had movies get good reviews and make money. And I like it best when the movies do well and the reviewers like them Picture Quote #1

I’m making a movie about relationships, and I’m surrounded by guys scared of talking to girls Picture Quote #1

There’s something honorable about holding out for love and not breaking up for the sake of the baby. I see people get divorced, and there is a part of me that thinks, I wonder how hard they tried? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

For me, until I know that the audience really gets what I’m trying to communicate I’m not done Picture Quote #1

If you look at who drives the box office numbers at these films, it’s men Picture Quote #1

To me, I’ve never understood why there is any question about are women as funny as men Picture Quote #1

I wanted to see how funny I could be without making the choice that every 10 minutes something big and visual had to happen Picture Quote #1

The thing that is incredibly helpful is that we screen the movies and we ask the audience if they like it or not and we ask a lot of questions and do testing on the movies. For comedies, at least, it’s very helpful. If they’re not laughing and they don’t say that they loved it, then I have screwed up Picture Quote #1

It’s funny when people debate about music, because they get so passionate about what they enjoy Picture Quote #1

Nowadays, when kids decide they like an artist, they’ll absorb everything that artist has ever done in a single night Picture Quote #1

Maybe you just get so attached to the music of your youth that you think it’s better than what’s coming out now Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I notice that all the beats sound exactly the same, it starts to wear on me Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be ordinary. I’m willing to do the work. I’m willing to suffer the indignities of comedy because I want to be great. I don’t want to just be good. I want to be great Picture Quote #1

A lot of bands that are great disappear a little bit faster than they used to. They don’t get as much support for the long haul. You have to be pretty tough to hang in there Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When you make a movie, you just send it off into the world. You never actually live it with the crowd Picture Quote #1

I feel the responsibility to make things which on some level have something positive to say Picture Quote #1

I need to find people who I respect so I can respect them, and they’ll like being respected so they’ll respect me, and that’s like a marriage Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The thing that ruined your life makes you good at your work. And then you get rewarded at work, so you don’t bother to fix it in your life Picture Quote #1

Don’t be a jerk. Try to love everyone. Give more than you take. And do it despite the fact that you only really like about seven out of 500 people Picture Quote #1
