'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.

More quotes by Spike Lee
A spine to my films that's become more evident to me is that many are about the choices people make, and the reverberations of those choices. You go this way, or that way, and either way, there's going to be consequences.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
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
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
Spike Lee
I miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.
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
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
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
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
First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.
Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
Those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.
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
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
Spike Lee
I don't like to use the word 'remake', I think reinterpretation is a better word. It's just a matter of respecting the source, and then trying to make your own film, and trying not to be inhibited by being so beholden to every single thing... We respect the source, but we make changes to it.
