More quotes by Dolly Parton
Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.
Dolly Parton
The world is my stage. I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
Don't lose your temper use it.
Dolly Parton
I can't keep somebody from being a star, and I can't make somebody a star, and nobody can.
Dolly Parton
My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.
Dolly Parton
They let you dream just to watch them shatter, you're just a step on the boss man's ladder.
Dolly Parton
Our own freewill, to choose the paths we take, no greater deed could ever be done than for another's sake.
Dolly Parton
I've never been more moved by a voice than I have been by Roy Orbison. I loved him personally, and I loved his voice. I think of him often and frequently listen to his songs.
Dolly Parton
We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.
