That's a very real feeling - that I don't have a story to tell. I'm not a pure storyteller. I have a tough time with story.

More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
Writing anything, it sorta starts the way you'd build a castle at the beach. You're just taking your hands and you're mounting up sand.
Aaron Sorkin
Tell me what you think and then tell me what the really smart person in the room who disagrees with you thinks.
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
I want to convey that I'm crazy about the Kardashians - but I'm not sure which is which.
Aaron Sorkin
Toby Zeigler: There's literally no one in the world I don't hate right now.
Aaron Sorkin
The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one - America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
Aaron Sorkin
Writers are opposite of athletes, they get better with age
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
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
A hero would die for his country, but he'd much rather live for it.
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
My resting pulse as a writer is writing idealistically and romantically aspirationally. My taste lies in quixotic heroes.
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
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
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 wouldn't kill you to watch a film or pick up a newspaper once in a while.
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
I'm sick of girls who don't know how to high-five.
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
There's that process of writing it - then you come out of your room into the sunlight, and you now have to complete the circuit and make the connection finally with the audience.
Aaron Sorkin
