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 have little feet because nothing grows in the shade.
Dolly Parton
If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.

Dolly Parton
Some people say that less is more. But I think more is more.

Dolly Parton
Don't lose your temper use it.
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
People get a kick out of my stupidity.
Dolly Parton
Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.
Dolly Parton
I love Velveeta cheese.
Dolly Parton
I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.
Dolly Parton
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
Dolly Parton
Stop this attitude that older people ain't any good anymore! We're as good as we ever were - if we ever were any good.
Dolly Parton
