More quotes by Spike Lee
You know that first of all your films have to make money no matter who you are.
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
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
I like people to look like they're floating.
Spike Lee
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.
Spike Lee
I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.
Spike Lee
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
Spike Lee
For me, I believe in God, God is real.
Spike Lee
First of all, what in this world does not revolve around money? But money is a big part of film, unlike a lot of other art forms.
Spike Lee
I don't like acting not in front of the camera.
Spike Lee
A woman who is very secure in herself, what she's about, what she wants to do, who probably figures that she's a prize catch-sooner or later he's going to come around.
Spike Lee
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
Any time you talk about the look of the film, it's not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer.
Spike Lee
I ain't Martin Luther King. I don't need a dream. I have a plan.
Spike Lee
I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
Spike Lee
If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.
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
Everybody does what they want to do for their own specific reasons.
Spike Lee
I didn't dream about being a director. I didn't know I wanted to do something with film until the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Morris College in Atlanta, Georgia.
Spike Lee
I tend to favour films that have multiple plot and story lines, multiple characters and ensemble pieces.
