More quotes by 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
'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'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
It comes down to this: black people were stripped of our identities when we were brought here, and it's been a quest since then to define who we are.
Spike Lee
I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.

I consider Madonna a friend, and she sure knows how to work the publicity machine. Of course, I don't have breasts. If I did have, I'd be in the number one spot over Madonna.
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
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
Cause mo better makes it mo better.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
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
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
You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
Spike Lee
I think my work shows that I love women. I understand where these types of criticisms are coming from because black people have been so dogged out in the media, they're just extra sensitive.
Spike Lee
I used the principles of Kickstarter to make 'She's Gotta Have It.' We filmed that in 1985 to 1986. The final cost was $175,000. I didn't have that money. It was friends, grants, donations. We saved our bottles for the nickel deposit.
Spike Lee
I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
