More quotes by Spike Lee
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
Spike Lee
This film [Chi-Raq]is a declaration. It's a scream. It's a warning. And I can really break it down to one scene. That's the scene where we have the eulogy and sermon that is given by the great John Cusack.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee

Spike Lee

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
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
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
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
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
