A Quote by Elvis Mitchell

The Comedy of Emasculation that Judd Apatow and his disciples have made into a separate economy was invented by the Farrelly brothers, 'Kingpin' being the strongest version of that.

I want to be able to play trailer-bound fatties in a Judd Apatow comedy.

Benedict Cumberbatch

On American TV, there just aren't a lot of female leads in comedy, especially at the peak of all the Judd Apatow stuff.

Alia Shawkat

In the comedies I've been lucky enough to be a part of a world like Judd Apatow's, where I believe comedy comes from real people.

Jonah Hill

Horror is like comedy. Woody Allen's comedy is going to be very different from Ben Stiller's comedy which is going to be different from Adam Sandler's comedy which is going to be different from Judd Apatow's comedy. They're all comedy, but they're all very different types and you can enjoy all of them. Horror is the same way.

Eli Roth

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

I was looking to do a comedy and found a group of guys that were really supportive of my interests in it, though it was a little outside of my wheel house. Strangely, I visited the set of Knocked Up and met Seth [Rogen] and Evan [Goldberg] and Judd[Apatow] and Shauna [Robertson].

Seth Rogen

A lot of people inspire me. I'm a huge movie buff. From studying and watching movies, over and over again, directly influential are Terrence Malik and his naturalism, Robert Altman and his exploration of improvisation, and Judd Apatow, in terms of his comedic process.

David Gordon Green

Judd Apatow is amazing, and everything he does is so cool.

Lucas Cruikshank

Judd Apatow, together with me and Lena, we're all the showrunners of 'Girls.'

Jennifer Konner

Judd Apatow is pretty good, both as a producer and as a director.

Mel Brooks

If one of the brothers, being able ,to maintain himself by his own occupation, does not desire ,a share of the family property, he may be made separate ,by the others receiving a trifle out of his share to live upon.

Guru Nanak

I went on an audition. I walked in the room, and it was Leslie Mann with Judd Apatow. It was intimidating.

Wyatt Russell

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

Jack McBrayer

To me, as a director and an actor, that's the main thing. "What's the heart of this story? What's the humanity of this story? And if the movie doesn't have it, then why am I watching it?" Even if it's a silly comedy, like Superbad or Knocked Up - Judd Apatow, I love, because he's all about heart. The humor comes out of the humanity.
