Aaron Sorkin on writing.

“I didn’t want to start writing something of my own because to do that I’d have to start writing something. I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, ‘You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, giftless. I’m not your agent and I’m not your mommy, I’m a white piece of paper, you wanna dance with me?’ and I really, really don’t. I don’t want any trouble. I’ll go peaceable-like.”

    I’ve had this quote saved for a few years now, and stumbled upon it again just now. It feels as true as it ever did.

  2. Misagh says:

    Aaron Sorkin fan too?

  3. Saleem says:

    Non-fans are suspect.
