More quotes by Aaron Sorkin
Toby Zeigler: There's literally no one in the world I don't hate right now.
Aaron Sorkin
I love writing. I'm not particularly comfortable in the actual world - I'm much more comfortable on the page. So if I could have a life where I could just slip the pages under the door and somebody would slip me a meal back, then that would be perfect for me.
Aaron Sorkin
When I write something, I want the best director to direct it. And that's not going to be me.
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
I'm not interested in the difference between good and bad, I'm interested in the differences between good and great.
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
People who don't know anything tend to make up fake rules, the real rules being considerably more difficult to learn.
Aaron Sorkin
Music is what mathematics does on a Saturday night.
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
If you feel that strongly about something, you have an obligation to try and change my mind.
Aaron Sorkin
The guy who wins the Oscar for Best Actor has a much higher bar to clear than the woman who wins best actress.
Aaron Sorkin
The downside to series television is that the schedule is ferocious. It constantly feels like you have a midterm due that you haven't started yet.
Aaron Sorkin
Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good.
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'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
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
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
Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.
Aaron Sorkin
Develop your own compass, and trust it. Take risks, dare to fail, remember the first person through the wall always gets hurt.
Aaron Sorkin
Humans know when it's not a good story. Unless you do this for a living, you may not know exactly why you don't like a story, but you can't fool an audience ever. They know when you have it and they know when you don't.
Aaron Sorkin
