More quotes by Dolly Parton
Some things are strange to me, and some things are odd. But I don't condemn. If you can accept me, I can accept you.
Dolly Parton
I don't have to keep a diary. It seems like for the last 40 years my life has been lived in the press, so I can Google any date in my history and find out what I was doing.

Dolly Parton
Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we've got more strength than we think we do.
Dolly Parton
No one is ever successful at everything that they do.
Dolly Parton
My aunt in Knoxville would bring newspapers up, which we used for toilet paper. Before we used it, we'd look at the pictures.
Dolly Parton
There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.
Dolly Parton
I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information I was a curious kid. I still am.
Dolly Parton
I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
Dolly Parton
I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.
Dolly Parton
