Here are quotes about love and marriage from or about Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney.
Kenny, 2/15/07: "It's not true. Period. Maybe I should have come out and said, 'No, I'm not (gay),' but I didn't want to draw any more attention to it ... The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like ... that I really understood what it was like to be married, and I really didn't ... [about regrets] Not at all. Not one bit. Even though I'd sit here and say I wish we'd gotten divorced instead of all that annulment stuff, and saved me a lot of public humiliation ...I still don't have any regrets. I loved her, you know? And it was real."

Renée on the "fraud" issue: "Contradictory to my intentions to maintain the integrity of our privacy by not commenting on the specifics of our decision, it seems necessary to clarify that the term 'fraud' as listed in the documentation is simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny's character. I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalized or untrue conclusions and greatly appreciate your understanding that we hope to experience this transition as privately as possible."

Spokesperson for Kenny and Renée: "The miscommunication of the objective of their marriage at the start is the only reason for this annulment. Renée and Kenny value and respect each other and are saddened that their different objectives prevent the success of this marriage. They are disappointed that the legal term 'annulment-fraud' has been publically misunderstood and exaggerated."

Gretchen Wilson, about the annulment: "I think they jumped in head-first and then realized that they, you know, maybe should have gotten to know each other a little bit more first."

Renee, responding to Dr. Phil McGraw's public prediction that the marriage would last just four months: "To come home from getting married and have that guy setting the betting table in Vegas at three months or four months or whatever it was… I'm not so worried about what Dr Phil thinks."

Sorrell Trope, a top Hollywood divorce attorney, on annulments: "If fraud is checked that means a promise was made before the marriage, but the person who made it had no intention of keeping it. The promise has to pertain to the heart of the marriage."

Renée on same-sex marriages: "It's hard to find love in this world and people should love each other. Trying to make it illegal for people to love each other is outrageous. I have a lot of gay friends who have been raising children. They have beautiful families that are far more stable than many heterosexual couples I know. It thrills me. If you find someone to love in this life and they love you back, God bless you."

Kenny on marriage: "I'm very content being a bachelor. Not that I never think about
getting married, I do. I want a family and want more balance in my
life….Sometimes I wish I was like Alan Jackson or George Strait, who got
married very young. That way you know (it's you, not the fame)."
