More quotes by 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.

Just to clarify the division of labor on the show, I write the show and Alan [Poul] does everything else.
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.

Toby: All right. It couldn't have gone far, right? Sam: No. Toby: Somewhere in this building...is our talent.

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.

Decisions are made by those who show up. Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world.

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.
Aaron Sorkin
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.
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
You can only write, 'Somebody wants something, something else is in their way of getting it.'
Aaron Sorkin
Elite is not a bad word, it's an aspirational one.
Aaron Sorkin
Music is what mathematics does on a Saturday night.

Never argue with a drunk or a fool.
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
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
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
Conflict, when used as a device, makes for good television and bad journalism.
Aaron Sorkin
I don't have personal experience and knowledge about anything but theater. I've been tutored very well on the subject, but ultimately I'm going back to the rules of drama. There are genres that I like as an audience member that I can't write as a writer. I can't write crime, and I like a good thriller as much as anybody.
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
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.
