More quotes by Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
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
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
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
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
I don't think my films are going to get rid of racism or prejudice. I think the best thing my films can do is provoke discussion.
Spike Lee
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
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 miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.
Spike Lee
It comes down to this: black people were stripped of our identities when we were brought here, and it's been a quest since then to define who we are.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
Spike Lee
I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
