My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.
Dolly Parton
Image
Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.
Dolly Parton
Image
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
Dolly Parton
Image
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.

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place and that you shine where you are. To me that's what being a star means.

Now I usually try not to give advice. Information, yes, advice, no. But, what has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes. Push up bras.

I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.

God is in everything I do and all my work glorifies Him.

Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I'm always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.

Speaking of the devil, well here he comes now. Got my defenses down. And I'd go through hell to make him mine.
Dolly Parton
Image
Jump out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.
Dolly Parton
Image
I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.
Dolly Parton

I think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.
Dolly Parton

If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.
Dolly Parton

The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.

I stay close to my roots and my family. I never want to forget any part of it. I'm still just a hillbilly at heart, thus a Backwoods Barbie.

I couldn't have children, I tried to for years. I've never been pregnant in my life. When I was a girl and fooling around I was scared to death I'd get pregnant, and then when I got married and wanted to have children I couldn't have any. But I don't miss it. I did for awhile, but I realize that I am everybody's mother.

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 look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
