Judd Apatow

“I'm making a movie about relationships, and I'm surrounded by guys scared of talking to girls.”

“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.”

“College is the reward for surviving high school. Most people have great fun stories from college and nightmare stories from high school.”

“If you look at who drives the box office numbers at these films, it's men.”

“I still feel like a nerd.”

“I think that everything I do tends to root for the underdog.”

“There are only so many hilarious actors so when they cross-pollinate, people assume it's always the same actors and directors.”

“Up until 'Bridesmaids', the general consensus was that women preferred comedy a bit softer.”

“The moment you think of a joke is the best moment.”

“I think a lot of Hollywood is in retreat right now trying to figure out how to make money and make the safest bets.”

“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.”
