More quotes by 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
I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
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
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
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
Spike Lee
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.

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 think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
Spike Lee
I didn't dream about being a director. I didn't know I wanted to do something with film until the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Morris College in Atlanta, Georgia.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
Any film I do is not going to change the way black women have been portrayed, or black people have been portrayed, in cinema since the days of D.W. Griffith.
Spike Lee
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
Spike Lee
I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
A woman who is very secure in herself, what she's about, what she wants to do, who probably figures that she's a prize catch-sooner or later he's going to come around.
