Judd Apatow

So I knew they were going to get divorced way before they told me.

Yeah.

And the funny part was they sat us all down.

I remember sitting me and my brother and sister down on the brick next to the fireplace and telling us they were getting divorced.

And then six months later, they got back together.

And then a year and a half later, they sat us down again.

So I had the double divorce.

Yeah, I mean, they broke up, and then they finally did.

There was a really funny conversation that Gary Shandling had about this with Jerry Seinfeld.

And they were talking about, you know, do you need pain to be funny?

And Jerry Seinfeld says, well, what about talent?

What about just talent?

And Gary went, why are you so angry?

But...

It is true that, you know, when you go through something, it just makes you more sensitive.

And I think you just pay attention in a different way to the world and you don't feel safe and you're looking to understand why the world is the way it is.

So I think it makes you an observer in a lot of ways because you feel like, wait, this isn't working out the way I wanted it to.

Why?

Well, definitely I thought...

I need to figure out how to survive in the world.
