There's never going to be another Patsy Cline. Without her, I don't think I would have lasted.

I was the first woman ever named Entertainer of the Year in country music.

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

When I lost my husband [Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn], I just didn't want to work so hard anymore. I hate that I didn't quit things a lot more before he was gone. I stayed home for six years to take care of him but, at some point, I also felt I had to go back to work.

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

All music is based on country music. And that's why so many different kinds of people relate to it. There are more country music fans in New Jersey than there are down South.

Being on stage is the best part of my career. I just say whatever comes into my head. It's the only time I feel grown-up and in control of things.
