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.

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
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
The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.
Dolly Parton
