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.

More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
It seems to me that more and more we've come to expect less and less from each other, and I think that should change.
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
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
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
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
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.

Roxy Sorkin, your father just won the Academy Award. I'm going to have to insist on some respect from your guinea pig.
Aaron Sorkin
I'm not interested in the difference between good and bad, I'm interested in the differences between good and great.
Aaron Sorkin
I want to convey that I'm crazy about the Kardashians - but I'm not sure which is which.
Aaron Sorkin
If you close your eyes you can imagine the hackers sitting in a room, combing through the documents to find the ones that will draw the most blood. And in a room next door are American journalists doing the same thing. As demented and criminal as it is, at least the hackers are doing it for a cause. The press is doing it for a nickel.
Aaron Sorkin
As a dramatist, you're looking for points of friction.
Aaron Sorkin
As an audience member, I like the sound of something that's been written - I like it to sound written. And then, of course, you can't do it without the musicians who can play it.
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
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
It's certainly easy for me to make a fictional character mad about something. I can get them angry about something that I'm relatively indifferent about, just because I'm not educated on it, if I go to someone who is educated about it and is passionate about it. I find a point of fiction and then give it to them.
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
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
Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep can play with the boys but there just aren't that many tour-de-force roles out there for women.
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
