More quotes by Dolly Parton
Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we've got more strength than we think we do.
Dolly Parton
My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.
Dolly Parton
Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'
Dolly Parton
'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.
Dolly Parton
It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.
Dolly Parton
They say somebody's 'street smart.' I feel like, if I got intelligence, it's just a country smart.
Dolly Parton
I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer just like us heterosexuals.
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
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
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
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
Dolly Parton
I'm just a simple country girl.
Dolly Parton
If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.
Dolly Parton
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes when I'm under pressure, if I think somebody is expecting stuff from me, I'll do better than if I was just left on my own. I can sit down - I'm a skilled writer, I've been doing it all my life - and I can get down to it.
Dolly Parton
You're not going to see your dreams come true if you don't put wings, legs, arms, hands, and feet on 'em.
Dolly Parton
I can't do nothing just a little.
Dolly Parton
I've never had that much trouble with the paparazzi, but I don't run the same circles that a lot of these people that do get hounded by the paparazzi.
Dolly Parton
I'll oil wells love you. I'll oil wells care. I'll oil wells need you. I want you oil wells dear.
Dolly Parton
When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.
Dolly Parton
