You get used to sadness, growing up in the mountains, I guess.- Loretta Lynn
You can't be halfway in this business. If you do not meet the fans, you lose all you've got.
You ain't supposed to get salmon when they're swimming upstream to spawn. But if you are hungry, you do.
Who wants to be married to a grandfather?
When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
When I'd tell people I like country music they'd get this look on their faces. People were kind of ashamed of country.
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.
When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.
We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.
We still lend our old house out to relatives. They keep a guest book for my fans to sign.
There's more women stars in Nashville all the time. They're proving they can do the job the same as a man.
There's always been a man telling me what to do.
The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.
The country is making a big mistake not teaching kids to cook and raise a garden and build fires.
Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we are in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.
