More quotes by Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
There’s always been this hocus-pocus or magical, mystical thing associated with the making of film that sort of psyches people out and makes them think that this cannot be done that this is a craft that cannot be learned.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
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 miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.
Spike Lee
Sex and racism have always been tied together. Look at the thousands of black men who got lynched and castrated. The reason the Klan came into being was to protect white southern women.
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'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.
Spike Lee
'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
Don't think that because you haven't heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. I am still here, like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest.
Spike Lee
When I went to school, you had to take art, you had to play an instrument. You had to play an instrument. But it's all degraded since then. I do not know what kind of nation we are that is cutting art, music, and gym out of the public-school curriculum.
Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
Spike Lee
I think if people looked at my body of work, they'd see a great breadth of work.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
I wouldn't be doing motherfu**ing films for almost three decades if every time I did something that someone didn't like I went in a fu**ing cocoon and just hid there and didn't make my art.
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
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
Spike Lee
