I don't like to use the word 'remake', I think reinterpretation is a better word. It's just a matter of respecting the source, and then trying to make your own film, and trying not to be inhibited by being so beholden to every single thing... We respect the source, but we make changes to it.

Fight the power that be. Fight the power.

I'm an independent filmmaker with complete creative control of my films. I hire who I want. I have final cut. But at the same time, I go directly to Hollywood for financing and distribution. I find it's best for me to work within the Hollywood system.

My grandmother lived to be 100 years old. Her grandmother was a slave, yet she was a college graduate in the Spellman class of 1917. She taught art for 50 years and she saved her Social Security checks for her children's education.

Music is, for me, a great tool of a filmmaker, the same way cinematography, the acting, editing, post-production, the costumes are. You know, to help you tell a story.

This film [Chi-Raq]is a declaration. It's a scream. It's a warning. And I can really break it down to one scene. That's the scene where we have the eulogy and sermon that is given by the great John Cusack.

If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.

Since the days of slavery, if you were a good singer or dancer, it was your job to perform for the master after dinner.
Spike Lee
Image
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.

A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.

'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.

I don't like acting not in front of the camera.

I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
Image
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.

I don't think my films are going to get rid of racism or prejudice. I think the best thing my films can do is provoke discussion.
