"I thought that now that I had this plaque (for his award-winning student film: Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads) on top of my television that Columbia, Warner Brothers, Fox, Universal, Spielberg, Lucas, they would call me. So I just sat by the phone and sat by the phone some more. Then the phone got turned off. That's when I decided, I have to try to do it more independently." - Spike Lee
