I'm proud of being part Cherokee, and I think it's time all us Indians felt the same way.

I think I reach people because I'm with them, not apart from them.

My mother used to paper pictures from movie magazines on the wall of her bedroom. When I was born, she looked at those pictures to decide on a name for me. Claudette Colbert's picture was up there and so was Loretta Young's. She decided Loretta was the prettiest name, so I was named after her.

Sometimes they work, and sometimes they just won't. Sometimes you get hung up on them. When that happens, you just throw it back, and maybe come back to it two or three weeks later.

Growing up in eastern Kentucky like I did, I'm used to having a few guns around to protect me.

It's important that you take care of yourself and blow off steam in the right way. Don't let some woman walk in and say, "hey, goodbye!" and take your man. Kill her if you can! I'm only kidding.

I've always been full of nervous energy, but I'm not really as happy as I seem.
