Spike Lee reveals why he wanted to become a filmmaker
"The reason I became a filmmaker is my mother was a cinephile and my father hated Hollywood films."
"I'm the oldest of five, so I was my mother's movie date... she loved Sean Connery."
"One of the first films I remember she took me to see, Goldfinger. I was six years old... The theater is packed. Loud explosions, gunshots, everything."
"There was a lull in the action and it was quiet. So I looked at my mother and said, 'Mommy, why is that lady named Pûssy Galore?'"
"My mother grabbed me by the neck... The whole audience was dying laughing. It was quiet, so everybody heard my voice."
Teyana Taylor winning Icon of the Year isn't even the award. The ACTUAL award is Janet Jackson pulling up to speak her flowers and hand deliver the award in front of the world to see. That's the flex of a lifetime. #BETAwards
