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 give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
Spike Lee
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
Spike Lee

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
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 ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
