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

Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.

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.

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.

I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
Image
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
Image
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
Image
I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Spike Lee
Image
Music is, for me, a great tool of a filmmaker, the same way cinematography, the acting, editing, post-production, the costumes are. You know, to help you tell a story.
Spike Lee
Image
Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It's been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.

I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
