There's more women stars in Nashville all the time. They're proving they can do the job the same as a man.

I've been married to the same man for all this time. The way we fight sometimes, you can tell.

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.

You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.

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.

When I'd tell people I like country music they'd get this look on their faces. People were kind of ashamed of country.

I don't like to talk about things where you're going to gt one side or the other unhappy. My music has no politics.
