Spike Lee Quotations

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.

I don't see any negativity with what Brad Pitt is doing with his Make It Right Foundation, or what Sean Penn is trying to do in Haiti.

I think if people looked at my body of work, they'd see a great breadth of work.

One of the great things about African-Americans is that we've always had this attitude: We make do with what we got. It comes from our ancestors being slaves.

I like people to look like they're floating.

Most human beings will not stand in front of a stage and tell you about the bad things they did.

I've always tried to - when I've been able to - support young artists, no matter what medium.

If you can't take a hit, you're not going to last long, that's for sure.

If people go to IMDB, they will see that I'm very comfortable with independent cinema, and doing studio films too. For me this is not an either/or situation.

I'm surprised that Hollywood and networks have not been diverse as other industries.
