You've got to continue to grow, or you're just like last night's cornbread - stale and dry.
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
Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage, figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.
Loretta Lynn
I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.
Loretta Lynn
My life has run from misery to happiness.
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
