Spot the Not #92 - Aaron Sorkin

All of the following are real quotes from him except one. Can you Spot the Not?

1. I like writing idealistically, romantically and swashbucklingly.

2. I consider plot a necessary intrusion on what I really want to do, which is write snappy dialogue.

3. I take anywhere between six to eight showers a day. I'm not exaggerating. I'm not a germaphobe: it's all about a fresh start.

4. Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.

5. The validity of the ideas is less important to me than how dramatic and noble they sound.

6. Heroes in drama are people who try hard to reach a virtuous ideal. And whether they succeed or fail really doesn't matter - it's the trying that counts.
