Me and my partner, Conway Twitty, cleaned up at the 1972 Country Music Association Awards.

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

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.

Image
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.

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

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 won all the blue ribbons for canning at the state fair.

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.

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.

You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.
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

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.

You've got to continue to grow, or you're just like last night's cornbread - stale and dry.

I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.
