I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.

More quotes by Dolly Parton
Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.
Dolly Parton
I've always believed in my talent. And I've always had more guts than talent.
Dolly Parton
If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.
Dolly Parton
Now I usually try not to give advice. Information, yes, advice, no. But, what has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes. Push up bras.
Dolly Parton
I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.
Dolly Parton
A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.
Dolly Parton
You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.
Dolly Parton
I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either, so it worked out well.
Dolly Parton
Its hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world.
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
I think the fact that I look totally artificial, but I am totally real, has its own kind of magic in it.
Dolly Parton
Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.
Dolly Parton
Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.
Dolly Parton
I think everyone should be with who they love. I don't want to be controversial or stir up a bunch of trouble but people are going to love who they are going to love. I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer just like us heterosexuals. Ha ha ha!
Dolly Parton
If there's something bothering me in the business end of things with people I work with, I just say it right out.
Dolly Parton
I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.
Dolly Parton
If I could get their attention long enough, I felt they would see beneath the boobs and find the heart, and that they would see beneath the wig and find the brains. I think one big part of whatever appeal I possess is the fact that I look totally one way and that I am totally another. I look artificial, but I'm not.
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
I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.
Dolly Parton
There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig.
