More quotes by Dolly Parton
I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be 'sexy,' even before I knew what the word was.
Dolly Parton
I'm very open with my business partners, just like I am with my husband.
Dolly Parton
I don't know that I'm beautiful or glamorous. I'm a pretty artificial looking person. I sure am flattered when people think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm leaning towards more cartoonish than beautiful. But I'm comfortable with who I am. And since I wasn't born as a natural beauty, I just make the most of what I've got.
Dolly Parton
I write a little something every day, even though I don't write a song [every day]. Everything inspires me. I'll come up with a line, or somebody will say something that will trigger something.
Dolly Parton
I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.
Dolly Parton
Every seven years, I sit down and make a whole new plan.
Dolly Parton
I want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
Dolly Parton
lots of women buy just as many wigs and makeup things as I do ... They just don't wear them all at the same time.
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
Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marching across your face.
Dolly Parton
A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.
Dolly Parton
People don't realize that, you know, we have - we meaning people in show business have the same problems as everybody else. Money don't change that. Fame don't change that. Sometimes that brings on more problems. You know, it's just a - different kind of problems. As they say, money ain't everything.
Dolly Parton
I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.
Dolly Parton
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly Parton
I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.
Dolly Parton
My husband calls me 'catfish.' He says I'm all mouth and no brains.
Dolly Parton
Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.
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
People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don’t know, I’m never there.
