More quotes by Spike Lee
I never understood the concept of showing everything in the trailer. Why go to a movie if there's no surprise? I can't do it like that.
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
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
Sex and racism have always been tied together. Look at the thousands of black men who got lynched and castrated. The reason the Klan came into being was to protect white southern women.
Spike Lee
'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.
Spike Lee
Since the days of slavery, if you were a good singer or dancer, it was your job to perform for the master after dinner.
Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
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
I used the principles of Kickstarter to make 'She's Gotta Have It.' We filmed that in 1985 to 1986. The final cost was $175,000. I didn't have that money. It was friends, grants, donations. We saved our bottles for the nickel deposit.
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 like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
I miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.
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
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.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
Spike Lee
I collect names for characters. Names are valuable they can be your first source of insight into a character.
