You can do anything you want to do as long as you keep a good attitude and keep working at it. But the second you give up, you’re screwed.
Dolly Parton
Image
I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.

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.

I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.
Dolly Parton

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'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
Dolly Parton

All my momma's people were very musical. My grandpa, who was the Pentecostal minister, he was a great musician. He played the fiddle, he played the piano.

If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.

I embrace everybody for who and what they are.
Dolly Parton

I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.
