Aaron Sorkin Television Quotations

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.

The thing I know how to do most is write a play. I came up loving plays and learning about plays and writing plays. I actually feel like an outsider when I'm writing movies and television.

With a television series, there's a hard deadline, and so you have to write even when you're not writing well.

Conflict, when used as a device, makes for good television and bad journalism.

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.

If I were running a television network, I would do a terrible job. That said, it would have been nice in sweeps month to have that as our lead-in.
