More quotes by Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee
I used the principles of Kickstarter to make 'She's Gotta Have It.' We filmed that in 1985 to 1986. The final cost was $175,000. I didn't have that money. It was friends, grants, donations. We saved our bottles for the nickel deposit.
Spike Lee
I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Spike Lee
I wouldn't be doing motherfu**ing films for almost three decades if every time I did something that someone didn't like I went in a fu**ing cocoon and just hid there and didn't make my art.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
America doesn't have the moral right to tell other people what to do. To say the whole world has to fall into line is you-know-what. I hope more people will rise up.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
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
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
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
I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
Spike Lee
My people, my people, what can I say say what I can. I saw it but didn't believe it I didn't believe what I saw. Are we gonna live together? Together are we gonna live?
Spike Lee
I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable.
Spike Lee
As we move toward the millennium, the year 2000, the most powerful nations are not those that have nuclear bombs, but those that control the media. That's where the battle is being fought that is how you control people's minds.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
'25th Hour,' like a lot of my films, takes place in New York City. I've been very fortunate to make films in the city that I live. I mean, it's great going home at night instead of being on location.
Spike Lee
A woman who is very secure in herself, what she's about, what she wants to do, who probably figures that she's a prize catch-sooner or later he's going to come around.
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
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.
