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
When I write something, I want the best director to direct it. And that's not going to be me.
Aaron Sorkin
A friend is somebody who says the same things to your face that they would say if you're not in the room.
Aaron Sorkin
Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.
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.

If you close your eyes you can imagine the hackers sitting in a room, combing through the documents to find the ones that will draw the most blood. And in a room next door are American journalists doing the same thing. As demented and criminal as it is, at least the hackers are doing it for a cause. The press is doing it for a nickel.
Aaron Sorkin
When you're writing a movie or a play and writing isn't going well, which is for me the normal condition - it's an exceptional day when suddenly I've got something and it's going well - you can call the studio or the producer or whoever is waiting for it and say, I know I said I was going to have it in by the end of the summer.
Aaron Sorkin
Decisions are made by those who show up.
Aaron Sorkin
As a dramatist, you're looking for points of friction.

I'm a playwright. All I care about is the play being good.
Aaron Sorkin
The guy who wins the Oscar for Best Actor has a much higher bar to clear than the woman who wins best actress.

Toby Zeigler: There's literally no one in the world I don't hate right now.
Aaron Sorkin
Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good.
Aaron Sorkin
An artist’s job is to captivate… if we stumble into truth, we got lucky.
