A Quote by Adam Schlesinger

I don't know if there's a particular project, but one movie that I was really disappointed I didn't get to work on was Judd Apatow's 'Walk Hard.'

Occasionally I do movies with other directors. I did 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' for Julian Schnabel. I did a movie with Jim Brooks ('How Do You Know'). I did a movie with Judd Apatow ('Funny People'). So I do get a chance to work with other people, which is always enjoyable, always pleasant. But still, Steven [Spielberg] makes the types of movies that I'm interested in as well.

Janusz Kaminski

Reading [Judd Apatow] book, about his background, I think there's a great similarity. What gives him the fire to work hard? He worked hard, researching the comedians of the time, what touched him about it.

David Copperfield

We [with Judd Apatow] started talking about ideas and he said, 'Well, I'm going to do this movie Knocked Up with Seth [Rogen], but after that you guys should do a movie together.' I read it and thought that it was very funny.

Seth Rogen

When I met Judd Apatow, he told me I should start writing screenplays. They'd be really bad at first, but the more I did it, the better I'd get.

Bill Hader

I would love to go off and do a movie with Judd Apatow or do another 'Mean Girls,' but to me, it's whatever the story is.

Diego Klattenhoff

Comedies are very hard to do. They are difficult. Unless there's the Judd Apatow school, where they're like okay, we know that, we're going to do those. Or unless it's something that's far to the other side.

Don Cheadle

I would love to branch out a little bit and... do a Judd Apatow type of movie. It just looks like it's so much fun.

Serinda Swan

If you get a chance to be part of a Judd Apatow film, you just say yes.

Jack McBrayer

The original idea [ of the Pineapple Express] came from Judd [Apatow] actually. He just kind of had the loose notion of like, 'What about a weed action movie?'.

Seth Rogen

In my top five favorite movies is a movie called 'Heavy Weights.' I was a chunkier kid and dreamed of going to fat camp with go-karts and stuff. That was written by Judd Apatow.

Josh Segarra

I hadn't done a comedy for a while. I had directed a very low budget movie called The Ape and it was playing at a festival in Austin. Judd [Apatow] was there and he came and saw it and it's kind of funny.

Seth Rogen

If Judd Apatow called me, I'd do it without thinking about it. I think he does really fun movies.

Kimberly Elise

I've seen all the Judd Apatow movies, and I'd love to have a really funny little part in one of them some day.

Miranda Cosgrove

I guess Judd (Apatow) is my soul mate because we have a lot of hard times, and it's great at times, too.

Leslie Mann

We were really fortunate to work [on Pineapple Express] with a studio that was really supportive of these guys. It was before Superbad and Knocked Up had even come out, but everyone just felt really great about them and the energy surrounding Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and Judd [Apatow] - all of these guys - and the idea of getting Franco back into comedy as well.

Seth Rogen

Scott Aukerman and Judd Apatow are two people who I owe a lot to, and it's always great to work with Scott whenever I can.
