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
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
I've got Sometimers. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.
Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.
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
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
