More quotes by Dolly Parton
I want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
Dolly Parton
I don't want to throw rice. I want to throw rocks.
Dolly Parton

We get along real well actually [with my husband Karl Tomas Din]. We give each other space and he's not in the business and he doesn't want to be. I'm interested in his world, he's interested in mine, but we have our own things that we do together.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
I remain totally convinced that if we can do one more simple thing to help kids and adults to learn more, it is to inspire them to read more.
Dolly Parton
The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.
Dolly Parton
When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.
Dolly Parton
I've always been fascinated by everything with wings.
Dolly Parton
I never know tomorrow what I might be doing. I just ask God to lead me and show me and direct me and help me and support me in it. So I just wait to hear the call.
Dolly Parton
I'm in showbiz. I look at my boobs like they're show horses or show dogs. You've got to keep them groomed.
Dolly Parton
Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.
Dolly Parton
