I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again. I've got thousands of songs.

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

Dolly Parton
I am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
Dolly Parton
We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.
Dolly Parton
If people think I'm a dumb blonde, because of the way I look, then they're dumber than they think I am. If people think I'm not very deep because of my wigs and outfits, then they're not very deep.
Dolly Parton
I'm just a simple country girl.
Dolly Parton
I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.

I have two favorite colors - white and yellow. White makes me feel light and airy. Yellow makes me happy.
Dolly Parton
I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.
Dolly Parton
I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.
