More quotes by Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
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've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.

Spike Lee
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
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
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
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
Spike Lee
I collect names for characters. Names are valuable they can be your first source of insight into a character.
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
