More quotes by Dolly Parton
God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.
Dolly Parton
I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.
Dolly Parton
I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.
Dolly Parton
Wondering if God loves us when we're cheating? Oh, but why he lets us feel things, if it's wrong.
Dolly Parton
I say, 'Yeah, Taylor Swift.' I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she's making all the right moves. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She's surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that.
Dolly Parton
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
Dolly Parton
If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.
Dolly Parton
I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.
Dolly Parton
I wake up with new dreams every day...more I can do to channel that into things that I love to create is healthier for me and probably for everybody around me.
Dolly Parton
I love watching keep-fit videos while munching chocolate chip cookies.
Dolly Parton
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
Islands in the streams, that is what we are.
Dolly Parton
I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either, so it worked out well.
Dolly Parton
I've never been more moved by a voice than I have been by Roy Orbison. I loved him personally, and I loved his voice. I think of him often and frequently listen to his songs.
Dolly Parton
Well, my smile's pretty hard to miss, considering I'm a gal who likes her lipstick-the redder the better.
Dolly Parton
I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.
Dolly Parton
I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.
Dolly Parton
I love the accomplishments and the awards that I've received through the years. But I've always worked more for the rewards than the awards. I've always counted my blessings before I've counted my money. I'm glad that new dreams come to me everyday.
Dolly Parton
lots of women buy just as many wigs and makeup things as I do ... They just don't wear them all at the same time.
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.
