More quotes by 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
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
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
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
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
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.
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
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
Spike Lee
Racism in America absolutely exists - it is an issue. We need to fix it. We're a great country - probably the greatest country but we could be a hell of a lot greater.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
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
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.
Spike Lee
Amongst black people, you have always heard it said that once a black man reaches a certain level, especially if you are an entertainer, you get a white trophy woman. I didn't make that up.
Spike Lee
Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It's been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.
Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.
Spike Lee
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
Any time you talk about the look of the film, it's not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer.
Spike Lee
Those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.
