More quotes by Dolly Parton
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
The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.
Dolly Parton
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
Dolly Parton
Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.
Dolly Parton
Working nine to five, what way to earn a living. Barely getting by... It's all taking and no giving. They use just your mind and they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it!
Dolly Parton
My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.
Dolly Parton
I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again. I've got thousands of songs.
Dolly Parton
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
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
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
I'm in the public eye, so I don't care who knows what I get done. If I see something sagging, dragging, or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked, or plucked.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
Dolly Parton
Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.
Dolly Parton
I'm just a simple country girl.
Dolly Parton
My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.
Dolly Parton
Find out what you are, then do it on purpose
Dolly Parton
Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.
Dolly Parton
I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things.
Dolly Parton
I don't know that I'm beautiful or glamorous. I'm a pretty artificial looking person. I sure am flattered when people think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm leaning towards more cartoonish than beautiful. But I'm comfortable with who I am. And since I wasn't born as a natural beauty, I just make the most of what I've got.
Dolly Parton
