More quotes by Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
I think my work shows that I love women. I understand where these types of criticisms are coming from because black people have been so dogged out in the media, they're just extra sensitive.
Spike Lee
Don't think that because you haven't heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. I am still here, like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest.
Spike Lee
Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.
Spike Lee
Do the Right Thing' was my first union film. I looked at the rosters, and for the most part, it was white males. Especially the Teamsters. So we had some conversations.
Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
Spike Lee
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
Spike Lee
I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.
Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
It comes down to this: black people were stripped of our identities when we were brought here, and it's been a quest since then to define who we are.
Spike Lee
We’ve gone through the names—Negro, African American, African, Black. For me that’s an indication of a people still trying to find their identity. Who determines what is black?
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
Spike Lee
Any film I do is not going to change the way black women have been portrayed, or black people have been portrayed, in cinema since the days of D.W. Griffith.
Spike Lee
You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.
