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.

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.

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!

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.
