More quotes by Loretta Lynn
I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.
Loretta Lynn
Nobody's perfect. The only one that ever was, was crucified.
Loretta Lynn
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.
Loretta Lynn
My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.
Loretta Lynn
I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.
Loretta Lynn
I've always been full of nervous energy, but I'm not really as happy as I seem.

Me and my partner, Conway Twitty, cleaned up at the 1972 Country Music Association Awards.
Loretta Lynn
I'm not a big fan of Women's Liberation, but maybe it will help women stand up for the respect they're due.
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
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.
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 think Charley Pride has been one of the best things to happen to country music, to prove it belongs to everybody.
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 don't like to talk about things where you're going to gt one side or the other unhappy. My music has no politics.
Loretta Lynn
I'm always making Butcher Holler sound like the most backward part of the United States-and I think maybe it is.
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
If anyone asks how old I am, tell them it's none of their business!
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
When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.
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
