Being a star just means that you just find your own special place and that you shine where you are. To me that's what being a star means.

You're not going to see your dreams come true if you don't put wings, legs, arms, hands, and feet on 'em.
Dolly Parton

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.
Dolly Parton
Image
Being born was the worse and the first mistake I ever made. The doctor didn't spank me, he just slapped me in the face.
Dolly Parton
Image
Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.
Dolly Parton
Image
You gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that's left for you or to make one of your own.
Dolly Parton
Image
I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.
Dolly Parton
Image
I don't want to throw rice. I want to throw rocks.
Dolly Parton
Image
When the new country came out ten to 15 years ago, people my age were almost too old. But it never stopped me. I never stopped writing. I never stopped recording.
Dolly Parton
Image
I stay close to my roots and my family. I never want to forget any part of it. I'm still just a hillbilly at heart, thus a Backwoods Barbie.
Dolly Parton
Image
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
Image
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
Dolly Parton
Image
I'll never graduate from collagen.
Dolly Parton
Image
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

My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.
Dolly Parton
Image
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
Image
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.

Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.
Dolly Parton
Image
I'll just wait right here for you cause I know your new love won't last. I wound easy, but I heal fast.
Dolly Parton
Image
I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.
