More quotes by Spike Lee
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
Spike Lee
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
'25th Hour,' like a lot of my films, takes place in New York City. I've been very fortunate to make films in the city that I live. I mean, it's great going home at night instead of being on location.
Spike Lee
Amongst black people, you have always heard it said that once a black man reaches a certain level, especially if you are an entertainer, you get a white trophy woman. I didn't make that up.
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
As we move toward the millennium, the year 2000, the most powerful nations are not those that have nuclear bombs, but those that control the media. That's where the battle is being fought that is how you control people's minds.
Spike Lee
Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
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
I may have been born yesterday, but I stayed up all night.
Spike Lee
Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It's been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable.
Spike Lee
I think it would be very boring dramatically to have a film where everybody was a lawyer or doctor and had no faults. To me, the most important thing is to be truthful.
Spike Lee
If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.
