Russell Simmons

Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you. Pick people who are interested in what you're interested in.

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.

People are afraid of failure - they don't like to work so hard and have people keep saying, 'No.' I think that's what people fear most.

I think celebrities suck.

I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.

I don't like to get in front of people.
