More quotes by Russell Simmons
It is crucial that rappers have the chance to express the truth that is in their heart.
Russell Simmons
There's something about the authenticity that Hollywood is missing when it comes to urban culture.
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
Hip-hop is about tearing down the system to better it, tearing down the system to better themselves. No matter how flimsy it might seem, they always wanted the finer things in life.
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 person who understands Dharma will have the opposite reaction to a hard job. That person will be eager to get started, no matter what kind of work is in front of her, because she understands that she's doing God's work. And when you're working for God, nothing is too hard.
Russell Simmons
Reacting to the world with a smile instead of a curse, a wave instead of the middle finger, will actually help you live longer.
Russell Simmons
Don't worry what others are doing. Do you!
Russell Simmons
The poets who do this are uniquely conscious of this silence, this stillness.
Russell Simmons
An animal products diet is like smoking 20 cigarettes a day.
Russell Simmons
Service is the key to everything in life.
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
I applaud what the Oscars are doing to promote diversity. I think it's great.
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
What holds most people back isn't the quality of their ideas, but their lack of faith in themselves.
Russell Simmons
By listening to your higher self, or Atman, you can return to the truth that's already inside of you and in the process change not only yourself, but the entire world, through positivity and love.
