More quotes by 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
When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.
Dolly Parton
I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'
Dolly Parton
I am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
Dolly Parton
I've always believed in my talent. And I've always had more guts than talent.
Dolly Parton
When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.
Dolly Parton
People tend to fear what they do not know, and what they fear they dislike.
Dolly Parton
I'm in the public eye, so I don't care who knows what I get done. If I see something sagging, dragging, or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked, or plucked.
Dolly Parton
If I'd married someone in show business, there'd be too much competition.
Dolly Parton
There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig.
Dolly Parton
A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.
Dolly Parton
I don't think I'm supposed to boss other people around just because I'm a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I've seen it happen. I don't call those people out - they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
Dolly Parton
I'm one of those people that if its something to eat I'm going to eat the whole thing, If I'm going to be in love I'm going to love you all the way and if my heart's broken, it's just shattered all to pieces.
Dolly Parton
I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.
Dolly Parton
I've always been fascinated by everything with wings.
Dolly Parton
Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.
Dolly Parton
I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either, so it worked out well.
Dolly Parton
Jump out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.
Dolly Parton
I'm so thankful I can write songs. I can capture all those memories in my songs and keep those memories alive.
Dolly Parton
I love the accomplishments and the awards that I've received through the years. But I've always worked more for the rewards than the awards. I've always counted my blessings before I've counted my money. I'm glad that new dreams come to me everyday.
Dolly Parton
