The world is my stage. I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

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
Image
I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

To me it's a two-way street. They're good to me, and I'm good to them. It's a natural thing for me to love people, and I think people sense it. ... I am secure with the kind of person I am. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone, but I'm just as good as anyone.

People say you shouldn't have plastic surgery because if God wanted you another way he would have made you that way, but I say that's a lot of crock. If God didn't want plastic surgeons, he wouldn't have given them hands to work with.

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
Image
I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.
Dolly Parton
Image
I hope to die right in the middle of a song and right on the stage doing what I love to do. I hope to be about 120 when that happens.
Dolly Parton
Image
Some things are strange to me, and some things are odd. But I don't condemn. If you can accept me, I can accept you.
Dolly Parton

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.
Dolly Parton

I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.
Dolly Parton
Image
I'm in the public eye, so I don't care who knows what I get done. If I see something sagging, dragging, or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked, or plucked.
Dolly Parton
Image
I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.
Dolly Parton

A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty.
