More quotes by Spike Lee

Spike Lee
It gets dangerous when you start allowing people to validate your work.
Spike Lee
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
Spike Lee
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.

If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.
Spike Lee

Spike Lee
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
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
It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.
Spike Lee
Everything I do is always scrutinised. But that's all I'll say about that.
Spike Lee
A spine to my films that's become more evident to me is that many are about the choices people make, and the reverberations of those choices. You go this way, or that way, and either way, there's going to be consequences.
Spike Lee
Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.
Spike Lee
Right now a lot of people are still choosing to go to Toronto instead of shooting in New York City, something I haven't done and something I hope I'll never have to do.
