More quotes by Spike Lee
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
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 tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
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
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.

Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
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
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 think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
Do the Right Thing' was my first union film. I looked at the rosters, and for the most part, it was white males. Especially the Teamsters. So we had some conversations.
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
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
I've got Sometimers. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
Fight the power that be. Fight the power.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
Spike Lee
