More quotes by Dolly Parton
All the fame and fortune, glory and prestige, can't make me happy if it goes against what I believe.
Dolly Parton
I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.
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
A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.
Dolly Parton
There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig.
Dolly Parton
If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.
Dolly Parton
I’m trying my best to keep up with all this new technology and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.
Dolly Parton
I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
Dolly Parton
It's when you treat people like freaks that you become one yourself.
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 do wear wigs. ... I sometimes make the joke about me standing on a hilltop with my hair blowing in the wind - and me too proud to run after it.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.
Dolly Parton
I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.
Dolly Parton
I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.
Dolly Parton
Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marching across your face.
Dolly Parton
Some guys look better as they get older.
Dolly Parton
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
Dolly Parton
I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.
Dolly Parton
The world is my stage. 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
