Film doesn't have to worry. Movies are awesome. There's no war going on, theaters aren't going to lose.
Aaron Sorkin

It's certainly easy for me to make a fictional character mad about something. I can get them angry about something that I'm relatively indifferent about, just because I'm not educated on it, if I go to someone who is educated about it and is passionate about it. I find a point of fiction and then give it to them.

Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That's what I look for.

The thing I know how to do most is write a play. I came up loving plays and learning about plays and writing plays. I actually feel like an outsider when I'm writing movies and television.

Government should be a place where people can come together, and no one gets left behind. No one…gets left behind. An instrument of good.

I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, giftless. I'm not your agent and I'm not your mommy, I'm a white piece of paper, you wanna dance with me? and I really, really don't. I'll go peaceable-like.

I'm a playwright. All I care about is the play being good.
Aaron Sorkin
Image
I consider plot a necessary intrusion on what I really want to do, which is write snappy dialogue. But when I'm writing, the way the words sound is as important to me as what they mean.

It wouldn't kill you to watch a film or pick up a newspaper once in a while.
Aaron Sorkin
Image
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.

An artist’s job is to captivate… if we stumble into truth, we got lucky.

As a dramatist, you're looking for points of friction.

We live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.

I grew up in the theatre. It's where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.

Socializing on the internet is to socializing what reality TV is to reality.
