A woman who is very secure in herself, what she's about, what she wants to do, who probably figures that she's a prize catch-sooner or later he's going to come around.

More quotes by 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'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
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 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.
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
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
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
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
I never understood the concept of showing everything in the trailer. Why go to a movie if there's no surprise? I can't do it like that.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
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
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
I've got Sometimers. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.
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
'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.
Spike Lee
As we move toward the millennium, the year 2000, the most powerful nations are not those that have nuclear bombs, but those that control the media. That's where the battle is being fought that is how you control people's minds.
Spike Lee
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.

'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
Right now a lot of people are still choosing to go to Toronto instead of shooting in New York City, something I haven't done and something I hope I'll never have to do.
Spike Lee
I think the best actors in the world are here in New York City. And this city is just so vibrant the energy is just phenomenal. Great crews here. All the technicians, all the artists that work in this industry. I've just been very happy with the body that we've been able to do, especially those films we shot here in New York City.
