More quotes by Russell Simmons
I try to do things that I think are helpful to the environment, to the animals, and to the planet.
Russell Simmons
Being materialistic is part of the hip-hop community's nature, because jazz and blues and rock 'n' roll, when they started out in the urban communities, were about the American Dream, and the lack of opportunity in that structure. So they talked about everything - uplifting and getting what is perceived as success in America.

Russell Simmons
The less you need, the more you attract.
Russell Simmons
I ask everyone - white Hollywood and black Hollywood - to get outside of your comfort zone and make friends. That's where they're going to learn from each other, and that's where they're going to make better movies and make Hollywood a better place.
Russell Simmons
I think that diversity is key for the next American entrepreneurs. They want to be a part of this society where there is so much diversity they have to have people from all the experiences.
Russell Simmons
In my experience, there's only one thing that will always steer you toward success: That's to have a vision and to stick with it... Once I have a vision for a new venture, I'm going to ride that vision until the wheels come off.
Russell Simmons
There was a moment when I was watching Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in 'Badboys' that I felt, you know, inspired. I don't know if I was proud, because so many people do the work. Everyone's part of a team that develops over the years and gives people chances. There have been some good moments watching people develop.
Russell Simmons
In the end, the overriding factor in whether or not you realize your dreams is going to be you. Not the world. YOU.
Russell Simmons
That happens to me everyday. I watch my thoughts, not only on the mat, but all through the day.
