Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
Those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.
Spike Lee
I think the best actors in the world are here in New York City. And this city is just so vibrant the energy is just phenomenal. Great crews here. All the technicians, all the artists that work in this industry. I've just been very happy with the body that we've been able to do, especially those films we shot here in New York City.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
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.
Spike Lee
I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.
Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
A spine to my films that's become more evident to me is that many are about the choices people make, and the reverberations of those choices. You go this way, or that way, and either way, there's going to be consequences.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
When I went to school, you had to take art, you had to play an instrument. You had to play an instrument. But it's all degraded since then. I do not know what kind of nation we are that is cutting art, music, and gym out of the public-school curriculum.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
There's a lot of Americans, black and white, who think that we've arrived where we need to be and nothing else needs to be done and affirmative action needs to be dismantled.
Spike Lee
We've got to turn this backward thinking around where ignorance is championed over intelligence. Young black kids being ridiculed by their peers for getting A's and speaking proper English: that's criminal.
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 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.
Spike Lee
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
