More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
I'm a playwright. All I care about is the play being good.
Aaron Sorkin
Elite is not a bad word, it's an aspirational one.
Aaron Sorkin
Never argue with a drunk or a fool.
Aaron Sorkin
The downside to series television is that the schedule is ferocious. It constantly feels like you have a midterm due that you haven't started yet.
Aaron Sorkin
People who don't know anything tend to make up fake rules, the real rules being considerably more difficult to learn.
Aaron Sorkin
An artist’s job is to captivate… if we stumble into truth, we got lucky.
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
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
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
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 do enjoy the fact that we don't have a king or queen we have a person with a very unusual temp job for a few years. My favorite moments on the show were always showing the intersection of the person and the job. Any time Bartlet from the West Wing could be something other than the president - a father, or a husband, or a son, or a friend.
Aaron Sorkin
Roxy Sorkin, your father just won the Academy Award. I'm going to have to insist on some respect from your guinea pig.
Aaron Sorkin
The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one - America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
Aaron Sorkin
It's important to remember that, first and foremost, if not only, this is entertainment. 'The West Wing' isn't meant to be good for you.
Aaron Sorkin
I don’t believe there are two sides to every argument. I think the facts are the center. And watching the news abandon the facts in favor of “fairness” is what’s troubling to me.
Aaron Sorkin
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.
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
It's nice that HBO is in business with the audience and not with the advertisers. There's a difference.
Aaron Sorkin
It wouldn't kill you to watch a film or pick up a newspaper once in a while.
Aaron Sorkin
I'm terribly afraid of failure. When your identity is wrapped up in writing and you've written something that doesn't work, it's a tough pill to swallow.
Aaron Sorkin
