More quotes by Dolly Parton
Got those moods a swinging, tears a slinging, nothing fits me, when it hits me, ranting, raving, misbehaving, PMS blues.
Dolly Parton
When the new country came out ten to 15 years ago, people my age were almost too old. But it never stopped me. I never stopped writing. I never stopped recording.
Dolly Parton
I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don't require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I'll take a powernap during the day.
Dolly Parton
I love story songs because I've always loved books.
Dolly Parton
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!

I have a life outside the arenas.
Dolly Parton
Every seven years, I sit down and make a whole new plan.
Dolly Parton
I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.
Dolly Parton
I couldn't have children, I tried to for years. I've never been pregnant in my life. When I was a girl and fooling around I was scared to death I'd get pregnant, and then when I got married and wanted to have children I couldn't have any. But I don't miss it. I did for awhile, but I realize that I am everybody's mother.
Dolly Parton
Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.
Dolly Parton
I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.
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
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
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
Dolly Parton
After you reach a certain age, they think you’re over. Well, I will never be over. I’ll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I’ve done that in my past, and I’d do it again.
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
I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself - let's put it that way.
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.
