More quotes by Loretta Lynn
We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.
Loretta Lynn
I won all the blue ribbons for canning at the state fair.
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
I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.
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

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
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
Mommy smoked but she didn't want us to. She saw smoke coming out of the barn one time, so we got whipped.
Loretta Lynn
I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.
Loretta Lynn
The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.
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
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
If anyone asks how old I am, tell them it's none of their business!
Loretta Lynn
My life has run from misery to happiness.
