I think Aaron Sorkin is like Shakespeare. When you go through it, there is a rhythm and clues all over the place of how it should be played.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always loved the writing of Aaron Sorkin. He cleverly intersperses big issues alongside personal relationships.
I don't claim to be some Aaron Sorkin expert, but it is like a Camelot. His shows are a place where people are trying to reach their highest potential. And I think we miss that sometimes. If I got a chance to do 'The Newsroom,' I would have done it yesterday.
I am lucky enough to have Aaron Sorkin write what I have to say.
There is a musical rhythm to great writing, especially if it's performed correctly.
The rhetoric is the key to the character. It's the verbal music of the piece.
It seems extraordinary to have waited so long into one's life to have found the part that actually uses your basic rhythm. And I think that's always sort of what actors connect up with - their own sort of world.
I am very aware that playwrights, particularly good ones, have a intention for everything they write. Language and punctuation is used specifically, and most of the time actors can find wonderful clues about character in the rhythm and cadence of the language used.
Guy Pearce is very precise and clear about understanding the rhythm and the music of a scene.
Every creator sets up their world differently. That's what's so amazing about someone like Aaron Sorkin and his writing.
You can't really compare any TV show to a show written by Aaron Sorkin.
