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.

I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.
Loretta Lynn

My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.
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.

My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.

We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.

All music is based on country music. And that's why so many different kinds of people relate to it. There are more country music fans in New Jersey than there are down South.
