Spike Lee's here to talk about a couple of projects he's doing for ESPN, including a documentary, "Game Day," in which the Knicks fanatic followed Kobe Bryant around for a day on which the Lakers played the San Antonio Spurs.
But, hey, he's Spike Lee, well-known quote machine, so all the questions aren't going to be about Kobe.
On what would change with a Barack Obama presidency: "You have to measure time Before Obama and After Obama."
On what he hopes an Obama win might mean for the entertainment industry:
"The gatekeepers are not people of color, and that's how things are going to change. Because there's only a few people...that decide what films get made and don't get made, what goes on television and what doesn't."
On the Screen Actors Guild's negotiations: "I would say the majority of people in SAG don't work...as actors" so they might be inclined to vote for a strike, but he hopes not.
"It affects the whole industry. It goes down to the people who do catering...it affects everybody. In this country, economically, we're in bad shape...so hopefully people won't be selfish," Lee said, not specifying whether he was talking about the actors or the producers.
"I think they need to read the newspapers and where we are, the state of the economy."
