Known for films like Oscar-winning BlacKkKlansman, Lee says he has 'too much work to do to look back on the past' and reflect. In receiving the British Film Institute's honour, he joins a list which also includes Martin Scorsese and Tilda Swinton.
"So more stories are being told that really weren't given a chance in the past."
"But that's not to say that the struggle is over, you know, it's still not the way it should be, but a lot better than when I started way back in 1986 with She's Gotta Have It.""The only secret of success in anything is you gotta work, gotta bust your a**e - and love what you're doing.
"I remember my first experience of a Spike Lee film was when I was 14 and it was Do The Right Thing, and it sort of exploded for me as something I hadn't seen before in terms of his stylings, what he was talking about, the energy, the passion in his filmmaking."
