More quotes by Loretta Lynn
I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.
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 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
Who wants to be married to a grandfather?
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
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
I've always been full of nervous energy, but I'm not really as happy as I seem.
Loretta Lynn
If anyone asks how old I am, tell them it's none of their business!
Loretta Lynn
When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.
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
I don't go to church regular. But I pray for answers to my problems.
Loretta Lynn
Nobody's perfect. The only one that ever was, was crucified.
Loretta Lynn
We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.
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
The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.
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
My life has run from misery to happiness.
Loretta Lynn
When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
Loretta Lynn
You've got to continue to grow, or you're just like last night's cornbread - stale and dry.
