What I would do to change this planet is have everyone meditate and look inside. Then we'd have a happier, more service-oriented, less-needy world.
Russell Simmons
Service is the key to everything in life.
Russell Simmons
Reacting to the world with a smile instead of a curse, a wave instead of the middle finger, will actually help you live longer.

If you talk about the prison-industrial complex, I've fought against the prison-industrial complex when I called for a repeal of the Rockefeller drug laws. The biggest impediment to get the laws changed was the lobbyists. Whether you're talking about healthcare, jobs going overseas, or tax reform, you're always coming up against lobbyists.

You don't expect a 94-year-old white guy to pick Dope, which was an awesome movie not even close to being considered by the Academy. And that's what it's all about, like, promoting people who might not otherwise get promoted and celebrating people who might not get celebrated.
Russell Simmons
I applaud what the Oscars are doing to promote diversity. I think it's great.
Russell Simmons
In my heart, I know that marriage equality for every human being isn't a question of if, but only a matter of when. I ask those who feel that giving freedom to others somehow binds you, to please take a good look at what you are standing behind.
Russell Simmons
Actresses are kind of a little crazy.
Russell Simmons
My idea is to integrate black stars into mainstream stars. It hasn't been explored properly. That's what Im doing in Hollywood.
Russell Simmons
You know, sometimes people never get to learn how successful they could have been because they give up too easily. If I've learned one thing in all my years in the business, it's that often things don't work out the way you want at first. But that doesn't mean you should give up.
Russell Simmons
I don't fault business. If you run a corporation, your job is to maximize the return on investment for your investors. Good for you. But by the same token, we have to remember that corporations have no compassion. That's why legislation and regulations are necessary.
