The depth of your struggle determines the height of your success.

My mother always told me if you write about life, you will always be in the game. Just don't write songs write life. I decided to take her up on that.

You make a right on L, make a left on O, come to a green light and that's when you can go. You keep straight on V, until you come to E, that's when you see a big sign that say's welcome to Love Street.

When you hear romantic music It makes you want to take your girl out to dinner or buy her something or take her out In the moonlight or take her on a walk.
