More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.
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
I'll get cast occasionally as sort of the jerk version of myself, and I have fun doing that. But it's really better for everyone if I stay behind the camera.
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
You can only write, 'Somebody wants something, something else is in their way of getting it.'
Aaron Sorkin
I would love for people to think that I am as quick, clever, smart and heroic as the characters that I write, but those characters are characters.

Aaron Sorkin
This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up.
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
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
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.
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
Music is what mathematics does on a Saturday night.
Aaron Sorkin
Decisions are made by those who show up.
Aaron Sorkin
I'm not interested in the difference between good and bad, I'm interested in the differences between good and great.
Aaron Sorkin
People who don't know anything tend to make up fake rules, the real rules being considerably more difficult to learn.
