I think my work shows that I love women. I understand where these types of criticisms are coming from because black people have been so dogged out in the media, they're just extra sensitive.

More quotes by Spike Lee
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
Spike Lee
Do the Right Thing' was my first union film. I looked at the rosters, and for the most part, it was white males. Especially the Teamsters. So we had some conversations.
Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
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
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'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
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
I may have been born yesterday, but I stayed up all night.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
I think if people looked at my body of work, they'd see a great breadth of work.
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
Amongst black people, you have always heard it said that once a black man reaches a certain level, especially if you are an entertainer, you get a white trophy woman. I didn't make that up.
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
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
Spike Lee
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
Spike Lee
