I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.
Dolly Parton

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.

I have little feet because nothing grows in the shade.

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?'

Our own freewill, to choose the paths we take, no greater deed could ever be done than for another's sake.
Dolly Parton

I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red.

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.

Years ago when I first started being a big star I had fans that were fanatical. It was when Jolene was a big hit.

lots of women buy just as many wigs and makeup things as I do ... They just don't wear them all at the same time.

I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.

Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton

I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.

If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.

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

I'm in the public eye, so I don't care who knows what I get done. If I see something sagging, dragging, or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked, or plucked.
