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.

More quotes by Dolly Parton
I usually eat breakfast twice. I'm usually up at 3 a.m. - do my spiritual work, my affirmations, a little bit of songwriting, get my daily work in order, and by that time I've worked up a bigger appetite.
Dolly Parton
I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.
Dolly Parton
One of the things I'm real proud of is I just made a deal with 20th Century Fox, and I've got my own production company now. I'm developing some television and movies for other people because I have a lot of fresh new ideas. To write is what I love the most.
Dolly Parton
I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.
Dolly Parton
I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information I was a curious kid. I still am.
Dolly Parton
Working nine to five, what way to earn a living. Barely getting by... It's all taking and no giving. They use just your mind and they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it!
Dolly Parton
I'm one of those people that if its something to eat I'm going to eat the whole thing, If I'm going to be in love I'm going to love you all the way and if my heart's broken, it's just shattered all to pieces.
Dolly Parton
George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.
Dolly Parton
I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.
Dolly Parton
I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
Don't lose your temper use it.
Dolly Parton
We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.
Dolly Parton
If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.
Dolly Parton
Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
Dolly Parton
A lot of people don't realise I came out of the Smoky Mountains with a load of songs.
Dolly Parton
Our own freewill, to choose the paths we take, no greater deed could ever be done than for another's sake.
Dolly Parton
A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.
Dolly Parton
Unless you have spent your life doing something, you are not likely to be successful, so always partner with people who are smarter than you.
Dolly Parton
I say, 'Yeah, Taylor Swift.' I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she's making all the right moves. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She's surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that.
Dolly Parton
