More quotes by Russell Simmons
Learn to let your thoughts exist on their own without getting too involved in them.
Russell Simmons
I don't like to say, Oh, this is my favorite record because there was a moment that that record made me feel a certain way. The one on the radio at the present moment could be the one that's most inspiring, because it's at that second that you're aware of the infinite everything.
Russell Simmons
There is no happiness until the mind is still. The cause of all sickness and sadness is the fluctuation of the mind.
Russell Simmons
It's always marketeers building their own careers.
Russell Simmons
I just try to, in my own way, contribute to making a better Hollywood, to move Hollywood to be a leader in social justice, as it always has been, and not to have any holes in their own backyard while they continue to push for equality and all the things that they always stand up for.
Russell Simmons
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 don't eat any animals or anything that has to do with animals. No fish or egg or dairy because I personally don't feel it's a good practice to eat anything that might run away from you.
Russell Simmons
I try to use my voice. I know that celebrity is valuable, and people do listen.
Russell Simmons
I think if you're open-minded, the road will take you where it takes you. If you're closed, you might not get to go where the road is heading.
Russell Simmons
The best way to protect both the policemen and the community going forward is by creating a system that's just, where everyone feels safe.
Russell Simmons
Actresses are kind of a little crazy.
Russell Simmons
A more happy mind leads to quietness and clarity. And that clarity helps you have a greater capacity to do more and to become more successful and more giving.
Russell Simmons
A poet or a comedian can say what's on the mind of people. They should be funny. They should make you laugh. It may be so truthful that it hurts, but it makes you laugh.
Russell Simmons
If you wake up deciding what you want to give versus what you're going to get, you become a more successful person. In other words, if you want to make money, you have to help someone else make money.
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.
Russell Simmons
People build themselves up before you even have to deal with them.
Russell Simmons
I knew it was unrealistic to think I could build an institution overnight. But if I took baby steps, eventually it would happen.
Russell Simmons
No one wants to sell to just 12% of the population for the entire length of their careers. It creates a difficult and less-profitable environment. But Hollywood has lived with that limiting mantra, and only a few black stars have managed to break through.
Russell Simmons
As I get, I give. Giving as you get is critical. It has everything to do with being happy for yourself, and making others happy is the cause of making yourself happy, and it’s the cycle of giving and getting.
Russell Simmons
As long as you are passionate about your vision, you should keep moving forward.
