I remember when I used to have actual time to write and now you don't have time and you just do it. I think it explains a lot about television.
Callie KhouriNashville is the place where I first realized how impossible it is to look at someone and know what is inside them, what special something they possess.
Callie KhouriWhen you look around right now, Nashville is kind of going through another changing of guard; you're watching the Martina McBrides and the Faith Hills and all of them that have been the big stars for the last however many years, and the next generation is coming in: Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, those girls.
Callie KhouriWe get the best people we can get and it turns out a lot of them are women. I've said this before If you hire people solely on their merit you wind up hiring a lot of women. I wonder how many other shows even come close to our numbers.

Callie KhouriWomen who just don't like each other because the other one is a woman and "women don't like each other" myth - that's not interesting to me at all. How do you compete in the market place, how you stay relevant after many years of being in the public eye - all of that. To me, that's interesting and that's real.
