More quotes by Dolly Parton
I've never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn't mean for me to have kids so that everybody else's children could be mine.
Dolly Parton
I don't have to keep a diary. It seems like for the last 40 years my life has been lived in the press, so I can Google any date in my history and find out what I was doing.
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
There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.
Dolly Parton
A baby, a real live baby was the craziest thing a fan has sent. Someone left a baby on our front doorstep with a note that they wanted us to raise it. Of course, we contacted the authorities and they took care of the baby.
Dolly Parton
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
I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.
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!
Dolly Parton
I haven't stopped working since I was 10.
Dolly Parton
I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.
Dolly Parton
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
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
Mine is a jealous heart, imagines things that never are.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes when I'm under pressure, if I think somebody is expecting stuff from me, I'll do better than if I was just left on my own. I can sit down - I'm a skilled writer, I've been doing it all my life - and I can get down to it.
Dolly Parton
I usually get up at 3 A.M. I don't require a lot of sleep, and if I get tired, I'll take a powernap during the day.
Dolly Parton
God and I have a great relationship but we both see other people.
Dolly Parton
My aunt in Knoxville would bring newspapers up, which we used for toilet paper. Before we used it, we'd look at the pictures.
Dolly Parton
I just don't feel like I have to explain myself.
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
A positive attitude and a sense of humor go together like biscuits and gravy.
