More quotes by Spike Lee
Any time you talk about the look of the film, it's not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer.
Spike Lee
My grandmother lived to be 100 years old. Her grandmother was a slave, yet she was a college graduate in the Spellman class of 1917. She taught art for 50 years and she saved her Social Security checks for her children's education.
Spike Lee
You gotta make your own way. You gotta find a way. You gotta get it done. It's hard. It's tough. That's what I tell my students every day in class. I've been very fortunate. Some people might call me a hardhead, but I'm not going to let other people dictate to me who I should be or the stories I should tell. That doesn't register with me.
Spike Lee
American slavery was not a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It was a holocaust. My ancestors are slaves. Stolen from Africa. I will honor them.
Spike Lee
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
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
Those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.
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
'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 am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
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
I like people to look like they're floating.
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
Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
Don't think that because you haven't heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. I am still here, like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
I've got Sometimers. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.
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'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.
