More quotes by Dolly Parton
I just don't feel like I have to explain myself.
Dolly Parton
I want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
Dolly Parton
My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.
Dolly Parton
Smile, it enhances your face value.
Dolly Parton
I'll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.
Dolly Parton
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
Dolly Parton
We get along real well actually [with my husband Karl Tomas Din]. We give each other space and he's not in the business and he doesn't want to be. I'm interested in his world, he's interested in mine, but we have our own things that we do together.
Dolly Parton
There's no such thing as free love. Have you seen the price of Viagra?
Dolly Parton
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
Dolly Parton
One of the things I'm real proud of is I just made a deal with 20th Century Fox, and I've got my own production company now. I'm developing some television and movies for other people because I have a lot of fresh new ideas. To write is what I love the most.
Dolly Parton
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
Dolly Parton
Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.
Dolly Parton
I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.
Dolly Parton
I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.
Dolly Parton
I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire department four days to put it out.
Dolly Parton
I'm very open with my business partners, just like I am with my husband.
Dolly Parton
I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.
Dolly Parton
Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
Dolly Parton
I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.
Dolly Parton
I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.
Dolly Parton
