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.
There's always been a man telling me what to do.
I've been married to the same man for all this time. The way we fight sometimes, you can tell.
There's more women stars in Nashville all the time. They're proving they can do the job the same as a man.
My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.
Back then, we didn't know we were poor, and people were more proud then.
You can't be halfway in this business. If you don't meet the fans, you lose all you've got.
Sometimes I think our problems are made worse by the kind of business we're in. Playing these road shows is a weird experience.
Some of my friends who know me best say they wouldn't trade places with me for $1 million because of the pace I lead.
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.
I want more out of life than I've gotten.
I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.
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 came out the back of the building and I was hollering, 'I've sung on the Grand Ole Opry! I've sung on the Grand Ole Opry!'
