If you can socialize from the privacy of your desk at night in a dark room, you can be a smoother, cooler, funnier, sexy, more everything person than you actually are in real life.

More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.
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
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
You know, one of the things I like about this world, or at least I like about the way we're presenting this world, is these issues are terribly complicated - not nearly as black and white as we're led to believe.
Aaron Sorkin
We live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns.
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
I'm a registered Republican, I only seem liberal because I believe that hurricanes are caused by high barometric pressure and not gay marriage.
Aaron Sorkin
I don’t believe there are two sides to every argument. I think the facts are the center. And watching the news abandon the facts in favor of “fairness” is what’s troubling to me.
Aaron Sorkin
When you're writing a movie or a play and writing isn't going well, which is for me the normal condition - it's an exceptional day when suddenly I've got something and it's going well - you can call the studio or the producer or whoever is waiting for it and say, I know I said I was going to have it in by the end of the summer.
Aaron Sorkin
As a dramatist, you're looking for points of friction.
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'll get cast occasionally as sort of the jerk version of myself, and I have fun doing that. But it's really better for everyone if I stay behind the camera.
Aaron Sorkin
Only criminals and adulterers should have to hide who they are.
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
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
Rule of storytelling: When a character is shoved against a wall, shove them against a wall harder.
Aaron Sorkin
My resting pulse as a writer is writing idealistically and romantically aspirationally. My taste lies in quixotic heroes.
Aaron Sorkin
It's nice that HBO is in business with the audience and not with the advertisers. There's a difference.
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
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
