Dolly Parton
When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.
Dolly Parton
The music does bring us together and it's cheaper than therapy!

I think everyone should be with who they love. I don't want to be controversial or stir up a bunch of trouble but people are going to love who they are going to love. I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer just like us heterosexuals. Ha ha ha!

I will not play just an evil part. In fact, I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in 'Supergirl.' I was kind of insulted. I was impressed with the money, but I said, 'Why are you asking me to play an evil witch? Do I come across as an evil witch to you?'

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
I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
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 do wear wigs. ... I sometimes make the joke about me standing on a hilltop with my hair blowing in the wind - and me too proud to run after it.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.
Dolly Parton
I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.
Dolly Parton
I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things.

A positive attitude and a sense of humor go together like biscuits and gravy.
Dolly Parton
George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.
Dolly Parton
I am amazed at the response of my being on the show. Everywhere I go, every young person points at me and says Hi, Aunt Dolly. Or Are you Aunt Dolly? I love doing the show and I love Miley and Billy Ray [Cyrus]. I am proud to be her honorary Godmother.
