Islands in the streams, that is what we are.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.
Dolly Parton
Many of my friends are gay, male and female. I don't judge people. I don't care what people do in their bedrooms and people shouldn't care what I do in mine.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
I can't do nothing just a little.
Dolly Parton
I’m trying my best to keep up with all this new technology and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.
Dolly Parton
I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.
Dolly Parton
Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.
Dolly Parton
After you reach a certain age, they think you’re over. Well, I will never be over. I’ll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I’ve done that in my past, and I’d do it again.
Dolly Parton
I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
