More quotes by Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee
I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
I'm an independent filmmaker with complete creative control of my films. I hire who I want. I have final cut. But at the same time, I go directly to Hollywood for financing and distribution. I find it's best for me to work within the Hollywood system.
Spike Lee
Racism in America absolutely exists - it is an issue. We need to fix it. We're a great country - probably the greatest country but we could be a hell of a lot greater.
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
You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.
Spike Lee
Those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
I miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.
Spike Lee
I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Spike Lee
My people, my people, what can I say say what I can. I saw it but didn't believe it I didn't believe what I saw. Are we gonna live together? Together are we gonna live?
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
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
I used the principles of Kickstarter to make 'She's Gotta Have It.' We filmed that in 1985 to 1986. The final cost was $175,000. I didn't have that money. It was friends, grants, donations. We saved our bottles for the nickel deposit.
Spike Lee
Do the Right Thing' was my first union film. I looked at the rosters, and for the most part, it was white males. Especially the Teamsters. So we had some conversations.
Spike Lee
I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
