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.

My experiences have been, from the very beginning, cultural and creative. And my business has been a way of exposing the culture, exposing the artists so that the world could hear and see them.
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.

Russell Simmons
A person's strength is to know their weaknesses.
Russell Simmons
I'm lucky that I have a platform that I can answer my own questions.
Russell Simmons
Stay in your lane. If you're good enough, people will move to you.
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
Meditation can reintroduce you to the part that's been missing.
Russell Simmons
The always-connected culture isn't as much a contributor as Grace might think. The nervous mind, the monkey mind, will create its own noise. It doesn't need a new toy.
Russell Simmons
If you just remember to breathe and smile before you act, you’ll always make the right decision.
Russell Simmons
I feel the choices our president Barack Obama is making now are safer and better.
Russell Simmons
I'm a full disclosure kind of person.
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
