'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
I collect names for characters. Names are valuable they can be your first source of insight into a character.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
I don't see any negativity with what Brad Pitt is doing with his Make It Right Foundation, or what Sean Penn is trying to do in Haiti.
Spike Lee
I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
Spike Lee
I miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.
Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
