More quotes by 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
You have to do the research. If you don't know about something, then you ask the right people who do.
Spike Lee
I'm an independent filmmaker with complete creative control of my films. I hire who I want. I have final cut. But at the same time, I go directly to Hollywood for financing and distribution. I find it's best for me to work within the Hollywood system.
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
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
Spike Lee
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
Spike Lee
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
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
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
'She's Gotta Have It' was shot in twelve days and two six-day weeks.
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
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'm trying to keep up with what's happening in this turbulent world.
Spike Lee
There’s always been this hocus-pocus or magical, mystical thing associated with the making of film that sort of psyches people out and makes them think that this cannot be done that this is a craft that cannot be learned.
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
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
