More quotes by Dolly Parton
People get a kick out of my stupidity.
Dolly Parton
I never know tomorrow what I might be doing. I just ask God to lead me and show me and direct me and help me and support me in it. So I just wait to hear the call.
Dolly Parton
I love Velveeta cheese.
Dolly Parton
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
I always think of myself as a working girl.
Dolly Parton
Working nine to five, what way to earn a living. Barely getting by... It's all taking and no giving. They use just your mind and they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it!
Dolly Parton
I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.
Dolly Parton
I'll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.
Dolly Parton
Everywhere I go, the kids call me 'the book lady.' The older I get, the more appreciative I seem to be of the 'book lady' title. It makes me feel more like a legitimate person, not just a singer or an entertainer. But it makes me feel like I've done something good with my life and with my success.
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
Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
Dolly Parton
I learned early on that I could get a lot of attention by singing and writing little songs, so it was like throwing nuts to a monkey... I just couldn't get enough.
Dolly Parton
I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.
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
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
Dolly Parton
Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills.
Dolly Parton
I'm a fool to keep staying, when you've made hurting me such an art.
Dolly Parton
I love story songs because I've always loved books.
Dolly Parton
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
I will not play just an evil part. In fact, I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in 'Supergirl.' I was kind of insulted. I was impressed with the money, but I said, 'Why are you asking me to play an evil witch? Do I come across as an evil witch to you?'
