More quotes by Dolly Parton
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.

Dolly Parton
I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.
Dolly Parton
God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple.
Dolly Parton

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 don't think I'm supposed to boss other people around just because I'm a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I've seen it happen. I don't call those people out - they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
Dolly Parton
I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.
Dolly Parton
I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.
Dolly Parton
I'll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.
Dolly Parton
The music does bring us together and it's cheaper than therapy!
