More quotes by 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
You gotta make your own way. You gotta find a way. You gotta get it done. It's hard. It's tough. That's what I tell my students every day in class. I've been very fortunate. Some people might call me a hardhead, but I'm not going to let other people dictate to me who I should be or the stories I should tell. That doesn't register with me.
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

Spike Lee
Those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.

Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
Spike Lee
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
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
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
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
