Aaron Sorkin, screenwriter of The Social Network, talks to Lynn Hirschberg about the film

Aaron Sorkin, screenwriter of The Social Network, talks to Lynn Hirschberg about the film: "“When I first got sober, my biggest fear was, Am I going to be able to write without cocaine? In the past my dealer would come over, and I’d do drugs all night long and I’d write high. I was worried that I couldn’t write with the sun out.” After rehab, to test himself, he took a two-week job polishing dialogue for a Michael Bay movie called The Rock. “I was just writing quips for Sean Connery and Nic Cage, but the first time I wrote in the daytime, I was so proud. Now my firewall is Roxy. I’d let her down if I relapsed.”"
