Famous quotes by Judd Apatow:

"I've worked with him since he was 16 on 'Freaks and Geeks' and always thought he could be a big comedy star, ... The nice thing about 'Virgin' is that it shows the studios that if the premise is a strong one, you can take a chance on a new actor in the lead."

"I don't know if you can be a born-again virgin."

"I've worked with him since he was 16 on `Freaks and Geeks' and always thought he could be a big comedy star, ... The nice thing about `Virgin' is that it shows the studios that if the premise is a strong one, you can take a chance on a new actor in the lead."

"[But audiences seemed to like Carell's character from the beginning.] I'm so happy we didn't have to sell out ... They didn't tell me anything I disagreed with."

"It just frees you to be more honest."

"I like letting people in on the process. When we did a speed-dating scene, we hired all these hilarious women ... and let them go off on Steve. ... If something's funny, I hate for it to just sit in a basement."

"Undeclared: The Complete Series"

"The idea makes you laugh, and you're instantly sympathetic. We've all lived through that moment where we had sex for the first time. You're terrified, so the idea of a guy so scared he let it get past him is relatable to us."

"It was obvious while shooting 'Anchorman' that Steve was stealing many a scene. So being a wily producer, I asked him if he had any ideas for movies that he could star in."

"Everyone wants Steve to do well because he really is the nicest guy you would ever come across. When we were working on the movie he said to me — and he wasn't kidding — 'I'm just trying to be nice to the casting director, so if this bombs she'll at least cast me in another movie.' This was the casting director he hired."

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

"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 at your head, and the gun is cancellation. So it's hard to win the arguments."

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

"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."

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

"All of my jokes were about not being able to meet anybody. I didn't have any insight into anything - even my own insecurities."

"I still feel like a nerd."

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

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

"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."
