More quotes by Russell Simmons
There's something about the authenticity that Hollywood is missing when it comes to urban culture.
Russell Simmons
Culture in America and everywhere else comes from the suffering, from those who don't want the old ways. They want to bring in the new, whether it's the ballet, when it started, or Shakespeare.

Russell Simmons
You just have to pay attention to what people need and what has not been done.
Russell Simmons
Music is the noise that surrounds the stillness of the art form.
Russell Simmons
I really, really try to be a good servant. It makes me happy when I'm a good giver without expectations.
Russell Simmons
I'm not a politician. I only want to help relieve the suffering in communities, and I want to help people see their community in each other.
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
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
An animal products diet is like smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
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.
