More quotes by Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
I collect names for characters. Names are valuable they can be your first source of insight into a character.
Spike Lee
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
Spike Lee
I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Spike Lee
Fight the power that be. Fight the power.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
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
I didn't dream about being a director. I didn't know I wanted to do something with film until the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Morris College in Atlanta, Georgia.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
Spike Lee
I wouldn't be doing motherfu**ing films for almost three decades if every time I did something that someone didn't like I went in a fu**ing cocoon and just hid there and didn't make my art.
Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
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
You gotta make your own way. You gotta find a way. You gotta get it done. It's hard. It's tough. That's what I tell my students every day in class. I've been very fortunate. Some people might call me a hardhead, but I'm not going to let other people dictate to me who I should be or the stories I should tell. That doesn't register with me.
Spike Lee
Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
Spike Lee
