More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
Honestly, I don't try to guess at what most people want. I don't think I'd guess right, and I just think that that's not a good recipe for storytelling. I try to write what I like, what I think my friends would like.
Aaron Sorkin
Never argue with a drunk or a fool.
Aaron Sorkin
When I write something, I want the best director to direct it. And that's not going to be me.
Aaron Sorkin
Decisions are made by those who show up.
Aaron Sorkin
Writers are opposite of athletes, they get better with age
Aaron Sorkin
If you feel that strongly about something, you have an obligation to try and change my mind.
Aaron Sorkin
I don't have personal experience and knowledge about anything but theater. I've been tutored very well on the subject, but ultimately I'm going back to the rules of drama.

Aaron Sorkin
Tell me what you think and then tell me what the really smart person in the room who disagrees with you thinks.
Aaron Sorkin
One of the biggest challenges in the past for me in working on the networks was that audiences have grown accustomed to television being something that keeps you company-background music, something that you have on while you're flipping through a magazine, cooking dinner, talking on the phone, putting the kids to bed.
Aaron Sorkin
It was hard saying goodbye to the character and harder saying goodbye to the actor. When rumours started going around that Rob Lowe might be leaving I got an email from Josh Malina asking if I'd be interested in an actor who was cheaper and not as good looking. I wrote back, Always, and that was that.
Aaron Sorkin
Perhaps something like Facebook couldn't have been invented by somebody who goes out five nights a week and has a ton of friends and makes friends really easily.
Aaron Sorkin
With a television series, there's a hard deadline, and so you have to write even when you're not writing well.
Aaron Sorkin
Socializing on the internet is to socializing what reality TV is to reality.
Aaron Sorkin
Certainly, last year we did an episode about the census and sampling versus a direct statistic. You just said the word 'census', and people fall asleep.
Aaron Sorkin
Writing anything, it sorta starts the way you'd build a castle at the beach. You're just taking your hands and you're mounting up sand.
Aaron Sorkin
I'm sick of girls who don't know how to high-five.
Aaron Sorkin
It wouldn't kill you to watch a film or pick up a newspaper once in a while.
