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.

I was the highest-paid street performer, probably, in the history of Chicago. I was making like $800 a day.

But I have to say, it was fun doing this Love Letter album because, hey, man, love has never failed. It has won every battle. And today and forever more it will go on undefeated. I'm also a very loving person.

You're younger, you might want to go to clubs and kick it, but as you get older, you start seeing that life has more meaning to it. The people that you love are the people you want to start trusting and start wanting them to trust you and start respecting them.

Within all of us there is a storm. Some believe it will never end: but he who has faith in the heavens above will weather any storm.

They say marriage will change you but it didn't change me. Being in love changed me.

I look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen.
