Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
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.

This film [Chi-Raq]is a declaration. It's a scream. It's a warning. And I can really break it down to one scene. That's the scene where we have the eulogy and sermon that is given by the great John Cusack.
Spike Lee
Racism in America absolutely exists - it is an issue. We need to fix it. We're a great country - probably the greatest country but we could be a hell of a lot greater.

I used the principles of Kickstarter to make 'She's Gotta Have It.' We filmed that in 1985 to 1986. The final cost was $175,000. I didn't have that money. It was friends, grants, donations. We saved our bottles for the nickel deposit.
Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee
I miss my brother. Prince was a funny cat. Great sence of humor.
Spike Lee
I don't dictate, you don't dictate to Stevie Wonder, not successfully.
Spike Lee
I think the best actors in the world are here in New York City. And this city is just so vibrant the energy is just phenomenal. Great crews here. All the technicians, all the artists that work in this industry. I've just been very happy with the body that we've been able to do, especially those films we shot here in New York City.
Spike Lee
I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
Spike Lee
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
