Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
The bible says, 'All things are possible.' I believe that.
Dolly Parton
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
Dolly Parton
If I could get their attention long enough, I felt they would see beneath the boobs and find the heart, and that they would see beneath the wig and find the brains. I think one big part of whatever appeal I possess is the fact that I look totally one way and that I am totally another. I look artificial, but I'm not.
Dolly Parton
I'll just wait right here for you cause I know your new love won't last. I wound easy, but I heal fast.
Dolly Parton
Speaking of the devil, well here he comes now. Got my defenses down. And I'd go through hell to make him mine.
Dolly Parton
My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.
Dolly Parton
