A Quote by Brad Pitt

Though 'Moneyball' had the talents of screenwriters Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin going for it, they weren't baseball insiders.

I had been used to improvising and even in the audition I was feeling free to rearrange Aaron Sorkin words a little bit, as lovely as they were. I didn't find out until after I got the part how furious Aaron was at me for doing that. They said, "He was livid. He did everything in his power not to jump down your throat!" But I came to realise that Aaron was writing in metre and the rhythm of the language is very important.

Richard Schiff

All of Aaron Sorkin's characters are so smart.

David Harbour

My interactions with Sorkin were agonisingly weird. He is by far the weirdest person I have ever met. I had dinner with him and a few hours before I got an e-mail from his assistant saying, 'Sean, this does not need to be a long conversation. Aaron is only going to use it to win your trust.'

Sean Parker

I had no regrets when I did it, I have even less regret now because I can't imagine staying on the West Wing show and then, six weeks later, Aaron Sorkin leaving.

Rob Lowe

I remember running into Aaron's Sorkin office and going "The show's West Wing going to work! I know it's going to work!" And it was literally that moment: the energy, the place, the feel. I didn't know the show would be successful but I thought it was going to be good and I don't have that feeling very often. And we were rehearsing all of that not knowing who the President of the United States was!

Thomas Schlamme

I feel like I've had a number of roles in suits, which is hilarious to the people who know me, because it couldn't be further from who I am and what I wear. I think that Aaron Sorkin is, to a certain extent, responsible.

Clark Gregg

I am lucky enough to have Aaron Sorkin write what I have to say.

Allison Janney

I don't think Aaron Sorkin can write a character who isn't really funny.

Clark Gregg

I understood the importance of doing an Aaron Sorkin film. He's a political filmmaker.

Jessica Chastain

When you get a chance to work with Aaron Sorkin, you don't say no. You drop everything you're doing.

Judd Hirsch

For better or worse, I have a lot of vaudeville circus skills that you just can't showcase in Aaron Sorkin's work.

Joshua Malina

Aaron Sorkin is why people hate liberals. He's a smug, condescending know-it-all who isn't as smart as he thinks he is.

Alex Pareene

Aaron Sorkin very sticky about using precise language. It's in his contract: you have to use what he writes!

Martin Sheen

During my many hours on the Acela, I have taken to watching 'The West Wing,' Aaron Sorkin's drama of an idealised White House.

Michael Wolff

The script was given to me by one of my agents and they didn't tell me anything about it. My first reaction was, "The West Wing? Is it about a squadron of fighter jets?" Then I turned the page and saw, 'by Aaron Sorkin' and I knew it was going to be something good.

Rob Lowe

I read an interview with Aaron Sorkin and he said he plays every part when he's writing. I thought, "Oh, I do that too! I'm doing okay."
