Spike Lee
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
Spike Lee
Music is, for me, a great tool of a filmmaker, the same way cinematography, the acting, editing, post-production, the costumes are. You know, to help you tell a story.
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
First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
There’s always been this hocus-pocus or magical, mystical thing associated with the making of film that sort of psyches people out and makes them think that this cannot be done that this is a craft that cannot be learned.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
