Loretta Lynn
When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.

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.

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
I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.
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
I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.
