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
The thing I know how to do most is write a play. I came up loving plays and learning about plays and writing plays. I actually feel like an outsider when I'm writing movies and television.
Aaron Sorkin
It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.
Aaron Sorkin
Never argue with a drunk or a fool.
Aaron Sorkin
My preference would have been to not go back on the air after 9\11, at all until the time felt right but that wasn't an option.
Aaron Sorkin
Rule of storytelling: When a character is shoved against a wall, shove them against a wall harder.
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
Decisions are made by those who show up.
Aaron Sorkin
It's nice that HBO is in business with the audience and not with the advertisers. There's a difference.

Toby Zeigler: There's literally no one in the world I don't hate right now.
Aaron Sorkin
She's a person the doctor pronounces her dead, not the news.
Aaron Sorkin
