More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, giftless. I'm not your agent and I'm not your mommy, I'm a white piece of paper, you wanna dance with me? and I really, really don't. I'll go peaceable-like.
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
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
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
There are television critics, movie critics, and theater critics too who I like and who I follow and I get genuinely bummed when they don't like something that I've written because I usually agree with them.
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

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
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
I'm sick of girls who don't know how to high-five.
Aaron Sorkin
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
Decisions are made by those who show up. Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world.
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
It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.
Aaron Sorkin
The guy who wins the Oscar for Best Actor has a much higher bar to clear than the woman who wins best actress.
Aaron Sorkin
When I feel that something I'm writing is going well, everything in my life is good and the things in my life that aren't good are completely manageable. If it's not going well, Miss America could be standing there in a swimsuit handing me a nobel price and I wouldn't be happy about it
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
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
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.

Toby: All right. It couldn't have gone far, right? Sam: No. Toby: Somewhere in this building...is our talent.
