More quotes by Loretta Lynn
Me and my partner, Conway Twitty, cleaned up at the 1972 Country Music Association Awards.
Loretta Lynn
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 first came to Nashville, people hardly gave country music any respect. We lived in old cars and dirty hotels, and we ate when we could.
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
You're the reason our kids are ugly.
Loretta Lynn
I had more verses . Owen Bradley said, 'Loretta, there's already been one El Paso and we'll never have another one. Get in that room and start taking some of those verses off.' Yeah, I took six verses off.
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 came out the back of the building and I was hollering, 'I've sung on the Grand Ole Opry! I've sung on the Grand Ole Opry!'
Loretta Lynn
Who wants to be married to a grandfather?
Loretta Lynn
I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.
Loretta Lynn
The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.
Loretta Lynn
When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
Loretta Lynn
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.
Loretta Lynn
