Famous quotes by Russell Simmons:

"I am very pleased to be involved with the Daniel Pearl Music Days committee because its message resonates with me on a very personal level. My own career is an example of the universal power of music, especially the power of Hip Hop, to bring people of different backgrounds together for a common purpose. I hope that my commitment to the Daniel Pearl Music Days committee will encourage all music lovers - both amateurs and professionals - to get involved with the Music Days performance network and contribute to the 'Harmony For Humanity' e-Stage."

"[Hip-Hop icon Russell Simmons has joined the Honorary Committee for Daniel Pearl Music Days 2005 , a 10-day network of performances named for the late journalist.] I am very pleased to be involved with the Daniel Pearl Music Days committee because its message resonates with me on a very personal level, ... My own career is an example of the universal power of music, especially the power of Hip Hop, to bring people of different backgrounds together for a common purpose. I hope that my commitment to the Daniel Pearl Music Days committee will encourage all music lovers - both amateurs and professionals - to get involved with the Music Days performance network and contribute to the 'Harmony For Humanity' e-Stage."

"The mindset of poverty is something that has to be overcome. I don't believe that those people who are living in this struggle -- I'm not saying what Bill Cosby is saying, for instance. I'm saying that it's our job to continue to give back."

"Well, it's the last step of the civil rights movement: You know, wrap your hands around some money, right?"

"Judgment of the people in the situation is not helpful. How can you help them is the question."

"We are committed to speaking the truth, ... We must continue to tell the truth about the street if that is what we know, and we must tell the truth about God if that is who we have found. Part of telling the truth is making sure that you know and talk more about what you know then speak or do music to appease those who are in power."

"They say we're putting out bad messages to the kids. Our image is clean, man. Kids beat each other's heads every day. They are fighting because they were fighting before I was born. ... We're role models."

"You'll see a lot of funny stuff, you'll see a lot of daddy-knows-best stuff, you'll see a lot of me and my wife trying to hold the family together."

"You will see Bill Cosby on steroids,"

"Get Your Money Right."

"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."

"Art allows people a way to dream their way out of their struggle."

"I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens."

"Poverty and lack of knowledge must be challenged."

"Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you."

"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."

"The conditions of suffering that exist today in our impoverished communities are not acceptable. The reflection of those conditions are less concerning to me. And I work everyday about changing the conditions."

"If you wake up deciding what you want to give versus what you're going to get, you become a more successful person. In other words, if you want to make money, you have to help someone else make money."

"I've been blessed to find people who are smarter than I am, and they help me to execute the vision I have."

"I try to make my life about service, and hope that one day we can all 'see' a little better because God is with everyone and everywhere."
