Hell on Wheels actor Common is next up on next week’s issue of JET magazine. The hip-hop veteran dropped a bit of knowledge on the meaning of love, getting his heart broken and how the two have motivated his life and career now.

On the meaning of love:
“I think the core of the human being and the heart is love, and we all want that,” he said. “Love has allowed me to do the things I’m doing in life. I feel like we all deserve that — to receive love and give it, too. I think when you give that love — love of God, love of other people, self-love — you’re able to make the world better. Your days go better.”
On his experience loving women:
“I have been in love, and I did get my heart broken,” he said, noting that he’s man enough to openly share sans inhibition. “As an adult, I can say I’ve been through love, and this is some of the experiences I’ve had. Men love. Men go crazy over women. They go to prison, start wars and lose hair over them. Don’t act like you can’t acknowledge it. It may be that you haven’t been through it, so I’m not afraid to say it.
On how love affects his life today:
“I think the core of the human being and the heart is love, and we all want that,” he said. “Love has allowed me to do the things I’m doing in life. I feel like we all deserve that — to receive love and give it, too. I think when you give that love — love of God, love of other people, self-love — you’re able to make the world better. Your days go better.” [Source]

I’ve always liked Common because I think he’s honest and doesn’t pander to any one group. I also think he needs to work on his acting, though. Just saying. His delivery is pretty wooden.

LOL
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE HIM!!!
THIS IS WHY I LOVE HIM BECAUSE THE WORDS THAT COMES OUT HIS MOUTH IS THE TRUTH. HE IS NOT AFRAID TO HURT TO TALK ABOUT LOVE AND HOW TO LOVE SOMEONE AND ENJOY LOVE. NOT A LOT MEN CAN EXPRESS THEMSELVES ABOUT LOVE WITHOUT TRYING TO BE AFRAID ALL THE TIME. JUST SAY HOW YOU FEEL AND I TRULY RESPECT COMMON FOR HIS WORDS. I HOPE TO ONE DAY EXPERIENCE LOVE ONE DAY AND FEEL THE WAY A PERSON SHOULD REALLY FEEL ABOUT LOVE IN A POSITIVE PROSPECTIVE.
