Quotes
- "Funny People is a comedy, but it has more drama in it. A hilarious drama is what I'm going for. Every movie, I'm trying to find a way to go deeper, to tell stories about subjects that are important and make them less and less broad while making them equally as funny. [This film is] another step in that progression."—Judd ApatowFirst Showing: First Look at the Story in Funny People (October 27, 2008)
