More quotes by Russell Simmons
No matter where you want to go, as long as you follow your path with faith, dedication and hard work, you are going to get there.
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.

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.
Russell Simmons

Russell Simmons
You just have to pay attention to what people need and what has not been done.
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
An animal products diet is like smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
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
I try to do things that I think are helpful to the environment, to the animals, and to the planet.
Russell Simmons
It's all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap.
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 think the artist's job throughout history has been to tell - to say things that people are inspired by.
Russell Simmons
I don't use my brain about the creative thing. From a business standpoint, I instinctively do things: when I get something right, it's never because I use my brain.
