More quotes by 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
Since the days of slavery, if you were a good singer or dancer, it was your job to perform for the master after dinner.
Spike Lee
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
Spike Lee
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
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.
Spike Lee
There's a lot of Americans, black and white, who think that we've arrived where we need to be and nothing else needs to be done and affirmative action needs to be dismantled.
Spike Lee
I collect names for characters. Names are valuable they can be your first source of insight into a character.
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
I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Spike Lee
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
I never understood the concept of showing everything in the trailer. Why go to a movie if there's no surprise? I can't do it like that.
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 don't like to use the word 'remake', I think reinterpretation is a better word. It's just a matter of respecting the source, and then trying to make your own film, and trying not to be inhibited by being so beholden to every single thing... We respect the source, but we make changes to it.
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
I think if people looked at my body of work, they'd see a great breadth of work.
Spike Lee
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
I think it would be very boring dramatically to have a film where everybody was a lawyer or doctor and had no faults. To me, the most important thing is to be truthful.
Spike Lee
I'm an independent filmmaker with complete creative control of my films. I hire who I want. I have final cut. But at the same time, I go directly to Hollywood for financing and distribution. I find it's best for me to work within the Hollywood system.
Spike Lee
I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.
