America doesn't have the moral right to tell other people what to do. To say the whole world has to fall into line is you-know-what. I hope more people will rise up.

More quotes by 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
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.
Spike Lee
Stick around long enough, you'll get some grace.
Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
Spike Lee
You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.
Spike Lee
Power is knowing your past.
Spike Lee
My people, my people, what can I say say what I can. I saw it but didn't believe it I didn't believe what I saw. Are we gonna live together? Together are we gonna live?
Spike Lee
Those that'll tell don't know, and those that know won't tell.
Spike Lee
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
I may have been born yesterday, but I stayed up all night.
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
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
I give interracial couples a look. Daggers. They get uncomfortable when they see me on the street.
Spike Lee
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.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
Spike Lee
Don't think that because you haven't heard from me for a while that I went to sleep. I am still here, like a spirit roaming the night. Thirsty, hungry, seldom stopping to rest.
Spike Lee
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
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
Our greatness, our talent has never been the question. It's been a matter of grappling for control over what we do.
