More quotes by Loretta Lynn

Loretta Lynn
I think Charley Pride has been one of the best things to happen to country music, to prove it belongs to everybody.
Loretta Lynn
I never knew where babies came from until it happened to me.
Loretta Lynn
We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.

If I found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, I'd want to give her a black eye! Instead, I wrote this song. At the time I was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind I was in by listening closely. With every song I've ever recorded, I'm in it. I wouldn't write about it if I wasn't in it.
Loretta Lynn
Write about the truth. If you write about the truth, somebody's living that. Not just somebody, there's a lot of people.
Loretta Lynn
I believe in horoscopes. I was born under the sign of the Ram, which means I'm headstrong, don't like people telling me what to do.
Loretta Lynn
There's always been a man telling me what to do.
Loretta Lynn
I'm always making Butcher Holler sound like the most backward part of the United States-and I think maybe it is.
Loretta Lynn
Some of my friends who know me best say they wouldn't trade places with me for $1 million because of the pace I lead.
Loretta Lynn
My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.
Loretta Lynn
Sometimes it's like you're a big pie settin' on the table, and everybody runs up and gets their piece of you. When it's over' the plate's empty.
Loretta Lynn
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.
Loretta Lynn
You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.
Loretta Lynn
When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.
Loretta Lynn
