Dolly Parton
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
Dolly Parton
I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly Parton
I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
