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.

God and I have a great relationship but we both see other people.
Dolly Parton
I embrace everybody for who and what they are.
Dolly Parton
We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.
Dolly Parton
I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
Dolly Parton
I hope to die right in the middle of a song and right on the stage doing what I love to do. I hope to be about 120 when that happens.
Dolly Parton
Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I'm always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.
Dolly Parton
I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.
Dolly Parton
That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother.
Dolly Parton
I don't have to keep a diary. It seems like for the last 40 years my life has been lived in the press, so I can Google any date in my history and find out what I was doing.
Dolly Parton
Some of my dreams are so big they would scare you.
Dolly Parton
Years ago when I first started being a big star I had fans that were fanatical. It was when Jolene was a big hit.
Dolly Parton
I know it's corny - but I love 'Jingle Bells!'
Dolly Parton
There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.
Dolly Parton
I'm a fool to keep staying, when you've made hurting me such an art.
Dolly Parton
I'll never harden my heart but I've toughened the muscles around it.
Dolly Parton
I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.
Dolly Parton
My husband calls me 'catfish.' He says I'm all mouth and no brains.
Dolly Parton
I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.
Dolly Parton
People say I look so happy - and I say, 'That's the Botox.'
Dolly Parton
I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.
