Judgment of the people in the situation is not helpful. How can you help them is the question.
Russell Simmons
There are poor white people who hear rap music and feel it is about them, because it is. That's why you have an Eminem and a Bubba Sparxxx and rappers like that.
Russell Simmons
When you sit quietly and look inside, things that seem so difficult on the outside become a lot easier to digest. Concerns that might've caused a lot of anxiety just come and go.
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
You have to live your life as if you are already where you want to be.
Russell Simmons
In my heart, I know that marriage equality for every human being isn't a question of if, but only a matter of when. I ask those who feel that giving freedom to others somehow binds you, to please take a good look at what you are standing behind.
Russell Simmons
I've been thinking a lot about gay marriage. I'm a big supporter.

What holds most people back isn't the quality of their ideas, but their lack of faith in themselves.
Russell Simmons
If you play basketball, you get into the zone. You can't miss. That's the expansive mindset we're all seeking. But that only comes when the mind is quiet and separate from the noise. And the greatest tool to eliminate the noise is meditation.
Russell Simmons
I don't want to appease everyone. It seems very difficult to be steadfast on truth and be a politician.
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
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
American democracy is spoiled by people buying everything in sight and then selling and buying everything in sight, including our politicians.
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 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
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
