More quotes by 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
You're going to fall down, but the world doesn't care how many times you fall down, as long as it's one fewer than the numbers of times you get back up.
Aaron Sorkin
I have a lot of respect for people who are great at ad-libbing, and for writers and directors who are able to create a scene in which that works.
Aaron Sorkin
What's interesting, is that I've found that the more accomplished a director is, the more secure they are in giving direction that sounds incredibly unsophisticated.
Aaron Sorkin
I'm sick of girls who don't know how to high-five.
Aaron Sorkin
A news organization has a much different responsibility. I might not be telling you the whole story. I might not be telling you a story in a manner that is properly sophisticated.
Aaron Sorkin
It's populated by people who, by and large, have terrific communication skills. Every day is an extraordinary day. For me, it was just a great area for storytelling.
Aaron Sorkin
Music is what mathematics does on a Saturday night.
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
I think it's up to writers to write stuff that is compelling enough that people want to watch.
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
When I write something, I want the best director to direct it. And that's not going to be me.
Aaron Sorkin
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.
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
I want to convey that I'm crazy about the Kardashians - but I'm not sure which is which.
Aaron Sorkin
Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep can play with the boys but there just aren't that many tour-de-force roles out there for women.
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
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.
Aaron Sorkin
An artist’s job is to captivate… if we stumble into truth, we got lucky.
Aaron Sorkin
President Bartlet: There's a delegation of cardiologists having their pictures taken in the Blue Room. You wouldn't think you could find a group of people more arrogant than the fifteen of us, but there they are, right upstairs in the Blue Room.
Aaron Sorkin
