I think having a dog makes you more compassionate.

People either love me or they think I'm obnoxious. I get that.

You sing songs hundreds of times over and over, but certain ones just morph and naturally, as you age and get life experience, take on a different form as well. When I was looking at songs for the album, I thought, "Which are the ones that connect with me the most? What do I think would work in album form?" Almost all of them I've done in shows.

I think God has a plan for all of us, and even if that plan includes Hell, its still a plan.
