I do have this belief that we all have a chance to be great, beautiful people based on how we are raised and our surroundings.
Rod Lurie
The common denominator of the great women leaders in the world - Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir - is that they're dramatically nonsexual.
Rod Lurie
The way that one feels about the story line of 'Deterrence' can tell us, I believe, about each person's conservatism or liberalism and precisely how tolerant he or she is of racism.

Whenever you make a movie, when it's done, as a filmmaker, you never sit there and say, 'Boy, I really got that right.' It's, 'Where did I screw up?'
Rod Lurie
What makes a man is when you go against your own instincts to do to the right thing.
Rod Lurie
The point of remaking 'Straw Dogs' is not to replicate the philosophies of Sam Peckinpah at all. What made that film singular was the attitude that he brought to the characters. Oddly enough, that's the one thing that I really wanted to change.

Somebody - and I'm going to guess it was Hitchcock - once said that everyone has their reasons. If you remember that, as a writer, you'll write better than average villains.
Rod Lurie
You learn quite a bit about your film from test screening audiences.
Rod Lurie
I was just nine years old when 'Straw Dogs' came out, so I can't really speak to the women of the time, but I can tell you that the women of 2011 are not put-upon, and they're not victims.
Rod Lurie
'All the President's Men' is a movie that has a very personal place for me because it made me want to be a journalist, and then it made me want to be a filmmaker.
Rod Lurie
When you do a freeze frame, you have the opportunity to find the exact shot that you want - no guessing.
Rod Lurie
If I have to answer one more time, 'Why did you want to remake 'Straw Dogs?'' with the emphasis on the word 'why,' I'm going to flip out.
Rod Lurie
Some nights I lie awake at night thinking, 'What's going to stop someone from smashing a chair through my window and coming in the house at two in the morning?' It is very unnerving. It's a realistic scare, which is the worst kind of scare that you could have.
Rod Lurie
Finding out you're able to do something doesn't necessarily mean you want to do it.
Rod Lurie
When you make a movie like 'Straw Dogs,' your goal is to have people's eyes remain glued to the screen. It serves you no purpose to turn away from the screen.
Rod Lurie
I remember watching movies like 'Fatal Attraction' and watching the audience go bananas at the end of the film.
Rod Lurie
I admire how Tarantino finds music that's semifamiliar and not famous: undiscovered gems.
