When I was a kid, I wanted to be an actor. I was acting in all the school plays. I went to school for acting. I was really sure that that's what I wanted to do.

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
With a television series, there's a hard deadline, and so you have to write even when you're not writing well.
Aaron Sorkin
I would love for people to think that I am as quick, clever, smart and heroic as the characters that I write, but those characters are characters.
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
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
Only criminals and adulterers should have to hide who they are.
Aaron Sorkin
If you feel that strongly about something, you have an obligation to try and change my mind.
Aaron Sorkin
I think it's up to writers to write stuff that is compelling enough that people want to watch.
