Reasonably Happy with Paul Ollinger

Judd Apatow on Fame, Money, and the Creative Process - Ep 136


Listen Later

Judd Apatow doesn’t care that much about money. This non-attachment to material goods leaves him more time to focus on what matters: writing, developing talent, and getting his family together for dinner. In this week’s episode, the writer / director / producer behind iconic comedy films such as Anchorman, This is 40, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin and I talk about:
Why Adam Sandler paid $50 more in rent than Judd when they were roommates
How failure prepared him to handle success
Being creative during a pandemic
Judd has accomplished so much in his career that, in retrospect, his success appears to have been pre-ordained. Despite his massive success in the past 20 years, he never forgets his early struggles and approaches every new project not knowing how it will be received. Having used Quarantine to crank out a George Carlin documentary, a new feature film (The Bubble), and a book, all his fans have lots new material to enjoy over the next few months. I am 364 pages into his new book (Sicker in the Head), and it’s fantastic. You should pre-order it here.  RATE AND REVIEW Crazy Money here. Follow Paul on Instagram here. Have a wonderful day wherever you are. That is all.
