More quotes by Dolly Parton
Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
Dolly Parton
I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.
Dolly Parton
I always wanted to be loved.
Dolly Parton
We get along real well actually [with my husband Karl Tomas Din]. We give each other space and he's not in the business and he doesn't want to be. I'm interested in his world, he's interested in mine, but we have our own things that we do together.
Dolly Parton
I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.
Dolly Parton
I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.
Dolly Parton
Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.
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'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
When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.
Dolly Parton
I'm comfortable in my own skin, no matter how far it's stretched. Ha ha.
Dolly Parton
I'm in showbiz. I look at my boobs like they're show horses or show dogs. You've got to keep them groomed.
Dolly Parton
After Momma gave birth to twelve of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her.
Dolly Parton
I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.
Dolly Parton
I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.
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
I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'
Dolly Parton
I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.
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
Here you come again, looking better than a body has a right to.
Dolly Parton
