More quotes by 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
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
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
I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.
Loretta Lynn
I won all the blue ribbons for canning at the state fair.
Loretta Lynn
Being on stage is the best part of my career. I just say whatever comes into my head. It's the only time I feel grown-up and in control of things.
Loretta Lynn
I don't go to church regular. But I pray for answers to my problems.
Loretta Lynn
We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.
Loretta Lynn
My life has run from misery to happiness.
Loretta Lynn
If I had a chance to do things over again, I might not start singing. It was my husband Doolittle's idea. He pushed me out there, the booger. And I'm out there now, so I might as well make the best of it.
Loretta Lynn
I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers.
Loretta Lynn
When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.
Loretta Lynn
My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.
Loretta Lynn
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.
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
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
You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.
Loretta Lynn
I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.
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
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
