Loretta Lynn

I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.

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

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

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.

I'd love to travel to the Holy Land.

I'd love to work more with the American Indians, my people.

I love people and I love to sing, and that's what keeps me going.

Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.

A lot of people say I'd miss show business if I quit. I'd miss some of it. Now it's the only life I know.

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

I'm trying to lead a good Christian life, so there ain't too much spicy to tell about me.

I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.
