Being born was the worse and the first mistake I ever made. The doctor didn't spank me, he just slapped me in the face.
Dolly Parton
Image
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
Image
I hope to die right in the middle of a song and right on the stage doing what I love to do. I hope to be about 120 when that happens.
Dolly Parton
Image
I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.

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.

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.

If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.
Dolly Parton

I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly Parton
Image
I am a seeker, a poor, sinful creature, there is no weaker than I.
Dolly Parton
Image
I'm in showbiz. I look at my boobs like they're show horses or show dogs. You've got to keep them groomed.
Dolly Parton
Image
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.

A tree reaches below the surface to gather strength for stargazing.

I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.

Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.
