More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
Well, I must tell you I write the scripts very close to the bone. So I'm writing episode seven now and couldn't tell you what happens in episode eight.
Aaron Sorkin
I've never met anyone who has said, My goal is to make America mediocre. That's a kind of hard-right conservative fallacy.
Aaron Sorkin
And a wheat thin the size of Lake Tahoe.
Aaron Sorkin
Perhaps something like Facebook couldn't have been invented by somebody who goes out five nights a week and has a ton of friends and makes friends really easily.
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
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
Decisions are made by those who show up.
Aaron Sorkin
The stuff that I write doesn't work very well as background music. You have to watch it from beginning to end and pay attention as if you were watching a play.
Aaron Sorkin
The real problem with all drugs is that they work. Fantastically. They're great, right up until the moment they kill you.
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
Government should be a place where people can come together, and no one gets left behind. No one…gets left behind. An instrument of good.
Aaron Sorkin
As a dramatist, you're looking for points of friction.
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
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
The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one - America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
Aaron Sorkin
If I get an idea for a series that I really like, I'm sure I won't be able to resist coming back and doing it.
Aaron Sorkin
Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day: civility, respect, kindness, character.
Aaron Sorkin
My resting pulse as a writer is writing idealistically and romantically aspirationally. My taste lies in quixotic heroes.
Aaron Sorkin
Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.
Aaron Sorkin
With a television series, there's a hard deadline, and so you have to write even when you're not writing well.
