“I think I would have done very well as a writer in the Forties. I thin...” — Aaron Sorkin Quote

“I think I would have done very well as a writer in the Forties. I think the last time America was a great country was then or not long after. It was before Vietnam, before Watergate.”

“Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That's what I look for.”

“There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups... but they're coming for ya. It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.”

“In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.”

“When you are in your twenties you just think the races are what matter the most. When you are in your forties you really appreciate what you do every day.”

“My thirties merged into my forties, and I sort of gradually realised that I don't really want children. Now I'm glad I don't have them. Part of that is because I have my books.”
