I'm a playwright. All I care about is the play being good.
Aaron Sorkin
Decisions are made by those who show up. Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world.
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.

Writers are opposite of athletes, they get better with age
Aaron Sorkin
Music is what mathematics does on a Saturday night.
Aaron Sorkin
You can only write, 'Somebody wants something, something else is in their way of getting it.'
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 think that if I couldn't write, I would be unemployable.

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'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
Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.
Aaron Sorkin
There's a great tradition in storytelling that's thousands of years old, telling stories about kings and their palaces, and that's really what I wanted to do.
Aaron Sorkin
Josh: So, Toby, it’s election night. What do you say about a country that goes out of its way to protect even those citizens that try to destroy it? Toby: God bless America.
Aaron Sorkin
This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up.
Aaron Sorkin
Decisions are made by those who show up.
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
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
I like workplace shows and White House was a very glamorous workplace to set a show in it appealed to a sense of romanticism and idealism that I have.
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
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.
