I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
Spike Lee
I collect names for characters. Names are valuable they can be your first source of insight into a character.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.

Fight the power that be. Fight the power.
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
Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.

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
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
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.
Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
