More quotes by 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 thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
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
It's great at this stage in my life to still be in the running, that people appreciate you.
Dolly Parton
Every seven years, I sit down and make a whole new plan.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
Poor little Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan... If those little girls slept with as many men as they say in the tabloids, why their little butts would have more fingerprints than the FBI! I kinda feel sorry for them. We should give those two a break.
Dolly Parton
I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire department four days to put it out.
Dolly Parton

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
A real important thing is that, though I rely on my husband for love, I rely on myself for strength.
Dolly Parton
My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.
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
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
Now I usually try not to give advice. Information, yes, advice, no. But, what has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes. Push up bras.
Dolly Parton
It's not easy being young. It's hard to know what to do.
Dolly Parton
'9 to 5 the Musical' is perfect for anyone that's ever wanted to string up their boss, which is almost all of us.
Dolly Parton
No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!
Dolly Parton
I haven't stopped working since I was 10.
