More quotes by 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
I don't have personal experience and knowledge about anything but theater. I've been tutored very well on the subject, but ultimately I'm going back to the rules of drama. There are genres that I like as an audience member that I can't write as a writer. I can't write crime, and I like a good thriller as much as anybody.
Aaron Sorkin
I want to convey that I'm crazy about the Kardashians - but I'm not sure which is which.
Aaron Sorkin
Decisions are made by those who show up.
Aaron Sorkin
The hardest thing for me is getting started. If I'm writing a script, really 90 per cent of it would be just walking around, climbing the walls, just trying to put the idea together. Then the final 10 per cent would be writing it.
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
And a wheat thin the size of Lake Tahoe.

Aaron Sorkin
With a television series, there's a hard deadline, and so you have to write even when you're not writing well.
Aaron Sorkin
As a dramatist, you're looking for points of friction.
Aaron Sorkin
Conflict, when used as a device, makes for good television and bad journalism.
Aaron Sorkin
There are no Asian movie stars
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
This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up.
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
There's that process of writing it - then you come out of your room into the sunlight, and you now have to complete the circuit and make the connection finally with the audience.
Aaron Sorkin
Never argue with a drunk or a fool.
Aaron Sorkin
I'm terribly afraid of failure. When your identity is wrapped up in writing and you've written something that doesn't work, it's a tough pill to swallow.
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
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
