Quote

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.

I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.

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 ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.

Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.

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.

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
Image
We've got to turn this backward thinking around where ignorance is championed over intelligence. Young black kids being ridiculed by their peers for getting A's and speaking proper English: that's criminal.
Spike Lee
Image
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.

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.

I'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.

I want to tell stories, I don't really try to get boxed in by a specific genre.

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.

If you have a talented family, you should be shot if you don't use them.

A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.

Sex and racism have always been tied together. Look at the thousands of black men who got lynched and castrated. The reason the Klan came into being was to protect white southern women.
