Famous quotes by Loretta Lynn:

"I was shocked when they nominated me for five different things,"

"His son was so young. We need to make sure what happened to his son doesn't happen to anyone else's children."

"I lost a son, too, so I can relate."

"Sometimes it's like you're a big pie settin' on the table, and everybody runs up and gets their piece of you. When it's over, the plate's empty."

"Do the best you can with yourself and hope for the best."

"A woman's two cents worth is worth two cents in the music business."

"My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em."

"In the long run, you make your own luck -- good, bad, or indifferent."

"I didn't know how babies were made until I was pregnant with my fourth child."

"I don't know what it's like for a book writer or a doctor or a teacher as they work to get established in their jobs. But for a singer, you've got to continue to grow or else you're just like last night's cornbread - stale and dry."

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

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

"I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have."

"I never knew any Jews until I got into show business. I've found them to be real smart and good workers."

"There's more women stars in Nashville all the time. They're proving they can do the job the same as a man."

"Because Olivia Newton-John wasn't from Nashville, they didn't like her winning our awards. I've got no complaints."

"I refuse to be pushed around anymore."

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

"When I'd tell people I like country music they'd get this look on their faces. People were kind of ashamed of country."

"I want more out of life than I've gotten."
