More quotes by 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.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
Spike Lee
We've got to turn this backward thinking around where ignorance is championed over intelligence. Young black kids being ridiculed by their peers for getting A's and speaking proper English: that's criminal.
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
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
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
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
Any time you talk about the look of the film, it's not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer.
Spike Lee
Fight the power that be. Fight the power.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
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 consider Madonna a friend, and she sure knows how to work the publicity machine. Of course, I don't have breasts. If I did have, I'd be in the number one spot over Madonna.
