The producer can put something together, package it, oversee it, give input. I'm the kind of producer that likes to take a back seat and let the director run with it. If he needs me, I'm there for him. As a director, I like to have the producer there with me. As a producer, I don't want to be there because I happen to be a director first and foremost, I don't want to "that guy."

Brett Ratner

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

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

Wyatt Russell

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.

Tim Matheson

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

Jack McBrayer

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

Benedict Cumberbatch

Me and Kirby are very collaborative and it changes from film to film. The first project we worked on together, Derrida, we co-directed. The last film Outrage, I was the producer and he was the director. This film was much more of a collaboration - he is the director and I am the producer - but this is a film by both of us.

Amy Ziering

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

One of my best friends is Paul Rudd, and he's been in just about every one of Judd Apatow's movies.

Joe Buck

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

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

Kimberly Elise

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.'

Adam Schlesinger

I think around that time I met David [Gordon Green] or, well, we all met at Superbad and Judd [Apatow] said, 'I'm thinking about having him direct [ Knocked Up].' Sounded like a good idea.
