Rod Lurie Quotations

We're going to deal a lot with how you get the kids to school, how do you take the little kids trick or treating

She feels she can't win two years from now ... so she can do whatever she wants, which means what is right for the country.

But at least it's being adopted by a Rockefeller.

If I was just throwing on the air another middle-aged white man as president of the United States and he was a Democrat, then, no, there would be no reason to do it.

His problem was unusual, ... He didn't want to play a Republican for six years. He didn't think he had the internal fortitude to play somebody who goes against everything he personally stands for.

I thought it would be more interesting ... to get her into power where basically her own Cabinet is against her. The whole world is crashing down on her.

While she's the president of the United States, she's also a mother. And if there's one thing that history has taught us about the rise of women, it's that they can become powerful, they can become presidents and prime ministers of countries and heads of companies, but they always remain the primary caregivers of their children, and I don't think that's going to disappear even if a woman became the president.

is rather arcane and it deals with very specific political issues.

I understand their decision, ... The screenplays and production were lagging behind. They have an asset that needs to be protected.

I've been a huge fan of Steven Bochco's for two decades. I'm excited to see how much he will electrify Commander in Chief.

I've been a huge fan of Steven Bochco's for over two decades. I'm blown away excited to see how much more he will electrify 'Commander In Chief,'

That she's a woman will carry the show only so far. That she's an independent will carry the show forever.

This is not a 'You-go-Hillary' show, this is a 'You-go-girl' show. I just want to see women in the process, whether they be Democrats or Republicans or independents. If there's any social agenda to the show, it's to be enthusiastic about the idea of a woman president - and an independent president.

I want her to have that opportunity. I want all women to have that opportunity. We've knocked out of contention 50 percent of the chance for greatness in our leadership.

I'm trying to show how much the odds are stacked against her. You want to know something interesting? Most polls show that's the case. . . . I don't know how true it is that the No. 1 issue for women in the United States is security, and that women have polled as being more in favor of a man being in charge of the nation's security than a woman.

I personally don't believe he's the devil incarnate. I think he's a rather delicious character, and you're going to see him be right on several occasions. He's a guy who's worthy of being, in the eyes of America, the president of the United States.

Hillary Clinton is going to have a very tough fight. However, if she should get the nomination, we're all taking the credit.

I couldn't think of another way to get her into power where basically her own Cabinet is against her, the whole world is crashing down on her. And I also feel that as an Independent, it would be naive and fairytale-ish to assume right now that an Independent would come to power at the head of a ticket.

I want to have a movie where people's eyes are glued to the screen, not when they're running from the screen.

You learn quite a bit about your film from test screening audiences. With both comedies and movies that are intense, you need to calibrate the film and see how audiences react.

I think that man is conditioned to violence.

A reckoning is coming on the state of the internet journalism, because right now, the way it's set up, there is so much room for libel to squeak through that you're going to see...they're going to rewrite the rule book on journalism very soon. They have to, because the bloggers are getting away with so much rumor-mongering about public officials and even private figures because they don't have editors and they don't have fact checkers and they don't have lawyers. There is going to be a price to pay somewhere down the line.
