FAQ from Sorkin?
Sorkin's childhood fascination with movies, particularly The Graduate, sparked his interest in screenwriting. However, it wasn't until he saw his first play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, that he truly fell in love with writing. He soon started writing plays of his own, while studying theatre at Syracuse University, which eventually led to his career as a screenwriter.
Sorkin's distinctive style of rapid-fire dialogue is known for its wit, intelligence, and emotional intensity. He strives for authenticity in his characters' speech patterns and often uses real-life conversations as inspiration. Sorkin also believes in the power of 'walk and talk' scenes, where characters deliver long speeches while walking from place to place, to create a sense of urgency and dynamism on screen.
Despite his numerous successes, Sorkin has faced criticism for his lack of diversity in both his writing and casting choices. He has also struggled with addiction issues and legal troubles, including a highly publicized drug arrest in 2001. However, Sorkin has used these challenges to inform his work, often drawing on his own experiences and personal growth in his writing.
