More quotes by 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
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
Meditation can reintroduce you to the part that's been missing.
Russell Simmons
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
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
I don't want to wait for Hollywood to decide that what I do is good.
Russell Simmons
Don't ruin a good today by thinking of a bad yesterday, Let it go!

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.

I think people instinctively know that their job is to give service and that they are part of a community. It had a great impact on me when my father walked the picket lines and I walked with him during the civil rights movement.

You've got to do things that promote what's important.
Russell Simmons
The stuff I do, I do every day, and I've been doing it for long periods of time. I don't start and quit-ever. I start and stay on it.
Russell Simmons
What holds most people back isn't the quality of their ideas, but their lack of faith in themselves.
Russell Simmons
We need to hear everyone. We need dialogue between police and the community. They're angry. They're hurt. A dialogue can cause a shift in consciousness in the person if he's understanding you and listening.
Russell Simmons
When you give without reservation, you’ll become a magnet that pulls the world toward you.
Russell Simmons
Whatever obstacles appear in your path, put your head down and get past them. Those obstacles aren't real. They're just God's way of testing you. He's asking you, 'Do you want to make it or not?'
Russell Simmons
It's all about the work. Nothing is going to fall into your lap.
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
At the shock of a joke, everything disappears but the present moment.
Russell Simmons
Compassion is the ultimate expression of your highest self
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.
