More quotes by Dolly Parton
I love the accomplishments and the awards that I've received through the years. But I've always worked more for the rewards than the awards. I've always counted my blessings before I've counted my money. I'm glad that new dreams come to me everyday.
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 love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.
Dolly Parton
Music is my personal addiction. So much of everything I've done has only been to open more doors for the music itself. It all gets back to the fact that I am, first of all, a songwriter and a singer.
Dolly Parton
I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
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'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.
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
When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.
Dolly Parton
You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.
Dolly Parton
There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig.
Dolly Parton
I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.
Dolly Parton
With the first money I ever made I bought my Mommy and Daddy a car, and helped them fix their house up.
Dolly Parton
I think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.
Dolly Parton
I just don't feel like I have to explain myself.
Dolly Parton
