Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.

Image
God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.
Dolly Parton
Image
A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty.

I'm just a friendly person that runs in my family.
Dolly Parton
Image
I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.
Dolly Parton

Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.

It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.

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.

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.

I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again. I've got thousands of songs.

People say you shouldn't have plastic surgery because if God wanted you another way he would have made you that way, but I say that's a lot of crock. If God didn't want plastic surgeons, he wouldn't have given them hands to work with.

Some guys look better as they get older.
Dolly Parton

I do think there's gonna always be a group of country people that are always going to love the old traditional sound.

I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.

'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.

Those people who wake up and they're just beautiful, they're just born that way. Well that ain't me. I gotta work for everything I've got.
Dolly Parton
Image
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.

I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.

It's not easy being young. It's hard to know what to do.

I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.
