More quotes by Dolly Parton
I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.
Dolly Parton
I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.
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
Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.
Dolly Parton
I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.
Dolly Parton
I believe in my cosmetics line. There are plenty of charities for the homeless. Isn't it time someone helped the homely?
Dolly Parton
For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.
Dolly Parton
So many of my relatives didn't get a chance to go to school, and my own Daddy couldn't read or write.
Dolly Parton
After Momma gave birth to twelve of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her.
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?'
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 want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
Dolly Parton
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
Dolly Parton
I've always believed in my talent. And I've always had more guts than talent.
Dolly Parton
People say I look so happy - and I say, 'That's the Botox.'
Dolly Parton
I write what I write, say what I say, 'cause I feel what I feel, and if I did it different, it would make me a liar! So I'd rather be an honest person than a good liar.
Dolly Parton
I've never been a feminist.
Dolly Parton
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
Dolly Parton
I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.
Dolly Parton
People tend to fear what they do not know, and what they fear they dislike.
Dolly Parton
