More quotes by Spike Lee

Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee
I've got Sometimers. Sometimes I remember and sometimes I forget.

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

Spike Lee
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
Any time you talk about the look of the film, it's not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
Amongst black people, you have always heard it said that once a black man reaches a certain level, especially if you are an entertainer, you get a white trophy woman. I didn't make that up.
Spike Lee
