More quotes by 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
It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.
Aaron Sorkin
Film doesn't have to worry. Movies are awesome. There's no war going on, theaters aren't going to lose.
Aaron Sorkin
We live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.
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'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
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
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
Conflict, when used as a device, makes for good television and bad journalism.
Aaron Sorkin
And a wheat thin the size of Lake Tahoe.
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
This is a time for serious people, Bob, and your fifteen minutes are up.
Aaron Sorkin
I'd been concerned all along that the character of the president in the West Wing pilot would throw the ensemble out of whack, that that character would simply take up all the oxygen in a room. I wanted to hold off bringing this character in until the last possible moment.
Aaron Sorkin
Toby: All right. It couldn't have gone far, right? Sam: No. Toby: Somewhere in this building...is our talent.
Aaron Sorkin
Humans know when it's not a good story. Unless you do this for a living, you may not know exactly why you don't like a story, but you can't fool an audience ever. They know when you have it and they know when you don't.
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
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
Toby Zeigler: There's literally no one in the world I don't hate right now.
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
But HBO is less interested in how many people are watching than in how much the people who are watching are liking the show. They didn't set up their business model to make writers happy. It's just a nice unintended consequence.
Aaron Sorkin
