More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
President Bartlet: There's a delegation of cardiologists having their pictures taken in the Blue Room. You wouldn't think you could find a group of people more arrogant than the fifteen of us, but there they are, right upstairs in the Blue Room.
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
If you feel that strongly about something, you have an obligation to try and change my mind.
Aaron Sorkin
As a dramatist, you're looking for points of friction.
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
My resting pulse as a writer is writing idealistically and romantically aspirationally. My taste lies in quixotic heroes.
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
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

Aaron Sorkin
Toby Zeigler: There's literally no one in the world I don't hate right now.
Aaron Sorkin
People who don't know anything tend to make up fake rules, the real rules being considerably more difficult to learn.
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
Never argue with a drunk or a fool.
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
It's nice that HBO is in business with the audience and not with the advertisers. There's a difference.
Aaron Sorkin
I do enjoy the fact that we don't have a king or queen we have a person with a very unusual temp job for a few years. My favorite moments on the show were always showing the intersection of the person and the job. Any time Bartlet from the West Wing could be something other than the president - a father, or a husband, or a son, or a friend.
Aaron Sorkin
You can only write, 'Somebody wants something, something else is in their way of getting 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
It's important to remember that, first and foremost, if not only, this is entertainment. 'The West Wing' isn't meant to be good for you.
Aaron Sorkin
The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one - America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
