I don't want to analyze myself or anything, but I think, in fact I know this to be true, that I enter the world through what I write. I grew up believing, and continue to believe, that I am a screw-up, that growing up with my family and friends, I had nothing to offer in any conversation. But when I started writing, suddenly there was something that I brought to the party that was at a high-enough level. Aaron Sorkin
About This Quote

The idea that you are a screw up in order to get your work done is quite insulting. We all have our faults, but the way in which the writer presents them makes it seem like the writer is claiming the person they are writing about is horrible for no reason. It might be true, but there would be no point of bringing it up if it wasn't true.
