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.

I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.
Dolly Parton
Image
Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.

I have been asked to pose for Penthouse on my hundredth birthday. Everybody is going to be sorry.

I'm in the public eye, so I don't care who knows what I get done. If I see something sagging, dragging, or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked, or plucked.

I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.

A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.
Dolly Parton

The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.
Dolly Parton
Image
I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.
Dolly Parton
Image
Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.
Dolly Parton
Image
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
Dolly Parton
Image
Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
Dolly Parton
Image
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.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
Dolly Parton
Image
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

After you reach a certain age, they think you’re over. Well, I will never be over. I’ll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I’ve done that in my past, and I’d do it again.

So many of my relatives didn't get a chance to go to school, and my own Daddy couldn't read or write.
Dolly Parton
Image
My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.
Dolly Parton
Image
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.

I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.
