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.

More quotes by 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 ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
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
Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It's been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.
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
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
Fight the power that be. Fight the power.
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
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
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
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
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
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
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
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
