Spike Lee Film Quotations

Making films has got to be one of the hardest endeavors known to humankind.

I am trying to stay away from this position of me "returning to my roots." As if my roots are that I'm only comfortable working on low-budget, small films. That's not the case at all.

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.

'Do the Right Thing' was like the first film where I really felt comfortable working with actors.

I don't think I'm a total pessimist, so I think you can find hope in all my films.

I'll be vilified if I shoot a film in Toronto for New York. And rightfully so!
